In his notes, Nietzsche refers to "the struggle between science and
wisdom exhibited in the ancient Greek philosophers". Nietzsche's
own view about "science" (learning) was to the effect that, at its
best, it should be greatly respected yet always tested by the
demands of personal wisdom, an "egotistical" quality which
nevertheless transcends self-indulgence.;This volume considers the
meaning and implications of Nietzsche's belief in relation to
philosophy up to the time of Aristotle, and then its bearing on
modern (essentially nihilistic) attitudes, to which it supplies
something of an antidote. By the author of "Aldous Huxley", "Out of
the Maestrom: Psychology and the Novel in the Twentieth Century",
"Characters of Women in Narrative Literature", "Ibsen and Shaw",
"Nietzsche and Modern Literature: Themes in Yeats, Rilke, Mann and
Lawrence", and "Nietzsche and the Spirit of Tragedy".
