Nietzsche scholars have long been divided over whether Nietzsche is
an aristocratic or a democratic thinker. Nietzche's Culture of
Humanity overcomes this debate by proving both sides wrong. Jeffrey
Church argues that in his early period writings, Nietzsche
envisioned a cultural meritocracy that drew on the classical German
tradition of Kant and Herder. The young Nietzsche's 'culture of
humanity' synthesized the high and low, the genius and the people,
the nation and humanity. Nietzsche's early ideal of culture can
shed light on his mature period thought, since, Church argues,
Nietzsche does not abandon this fundamental commitment to a
cultural meritocracy. Nietzche's Culture of Humanity argues that
Nietzsche's novel defense of culture can overcome some persisting
problems in contemporary liberal theories of culture. As such, this
book should interest Nietzsche scholars, political theorists and
philosophers interested in modern thought, as well as contemporary
thinkers concerned with the politics of culture.
