Nietzsche's critique of the modern subject is often presented as a
radical break with modern philosophy and associated with the
so-called 'death of the subject' in 20th century philosophy. But
Nietzsche claimed to be a 'psychologist' who was trying to open up
the path for 'new versions and sophistications of the soul
hypothesis.' Although there is no doubt that Nietzsche gave
expression to a fundamental crisis of the modern conception of
subjectivity (both from a theoretical and from a
practical-existential perspective), it is open to debate whether he
wanted to abandon the very idea of subjectivity or only to pose the
problem of subjectivity in new terms. The volume includes 26
articles by top Nietzsche scholars. The chapters in Part I,
"Tradition and Context", deal with the relationship between
Nietzsche's views on subjectivity and modern philosophy, as well as
with the late 19th century context in which his thought emerged;
Part II, "The Crisis of the Subject", examines the impact of
Nietzsche's critique of the subject on 20th century philosophy,
from Freud to Heidegger to Dennett, but also in such authors as
Deleuze, Foucault, Derrida, or Luhmann; Part III, "Current Debates
- From Embodiment and Consciousness to Agency", shows that the way
in which Nietzsche engaged with such themes as the self, agency,
consciousness, embodiment and self-knowledge makes his thought
highly relevant for philosophy today, especially for philosophy of
mind and ethics.
