According to Bertrand Russell, Nietzsche's only value is the
flourishing of the exceptional individual. The well-being of
ordinary people is, in itself, without value. Yet there are
passages in Nietzsche that appear to regard the flourishing of the
community as a whole alongside, perhaps even above, that of the
exceptional individual. The ten essays that comprise this volume
wrestle with the tension between individual and community in
Nietzsche's writings. Some defend a reading close to Russell's.
Others suggest that Nietzsche's highest value is the flourishing of
the community as a whole and that exceptional individuals find
their highest value only in promoting that flourishing. In viewing
Nietzsche from the perspective of community, the essays also cast
new light on other aspects of his philosophy, for instance, his
ideal of scientific research and his philosophy of language.
