Hiking with Nietzsche is a tale of two philosophical journeys in
the Swiss Alps: one made by John Kaag as an introspective teenager,
the other seventeen years later in radically different
circumstances - as a husband and father with his wife and small
child in tow. Kaag travels to the peaks above Sils Maria where
Nietzsche routinely summered, and where he wrote his mysterious
landmark work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Both trips are made in
search of the wisdom at the core of Nietzsche's philosophy, yet
they bring Kaag to radically different revelations about the human
condition. Entertaining, intimate and thought-provoking, Hiking
with Nietzsche explores not only Nietzsche's ideals but how his
philosophy relates to us in the 21st century. It is about defeating
complacency, balancing sanity and madness and coming to grips with
the unobtainable. As Kaag hikes into the high places, alone or with
his family, but always with Nietzsche, he finds that the process of
climbing and the inevitable missteps give one the chance, in
Nietzsche's words, to 'become who you are'. Even when we think it
too late to change, this most controversial of thinkers can inspire
the rediscovery of meaning.
