Like Kant, the German Idealists, and many neo-Kantian philosophers
before him, Nietzsche was persistently concerned with metaphysical
questions about the nature of objects. His texts often address
questions concerning the existence and non-existence of objects,
the relation of objects to human minds, and how different views of
objects impact commitments in many areas of philosophy-not just
metaphysics, but also language, epistemology, science, logic and
mathematics, and even ethics. In this book, Remhof presents a
systematic and comprehensive analysis of Nietzsche's material
object metaphysics. He argues that Nietzsche embraces the
controversial constructivist view that all concrete objects are
socially constructed. Reading Nietzsche as a constructivist, Remhof
contends, provides fresh insight into Nietzsche's views on truth,
science, naturalism, and nihilism. The book also investigates how
Nietzsche's view of objects compares with views offered by
influential American pragmatists and explores the implications of
Nietzsche's constructivism for debates in contemporary material
object metaphysics. Nietzsche's Constructivism is a highly original
and timely contribution to the steadily growing literature on
Nietzsche's thought.
