Rousseau and Nietzsche: Toward an Aesthetic Morality offers a vivid
depiction of the problems and potential of modernity through the
words of two of its most poignant voices. The book focuses upon the
modern self's desire to individuate while facing the ethical
responsibility to integrate into the world. Katrin Froese elegantly
juxtaposes Nietzsche's drive for extraordinary individualism with
Rousseau's call for the dependable citizen, demonstrating that
where Nietzsche's aestheticism embraces the limitless and
irreconcilable longings of a divided being, Rousseau's approach
emphasizes the imposition of limits to ensure that harmony and
contentment prevail. Going beyond conventional scholarship, the
work emphasizes the similarities at the heart of Rousseau's notion
of morality and Nietzsche's aestheticism: the moral vision that
underlies Nietzsche's notion of art and the aesthetic understanding
prevalent in Rousseau's moral system. This stunning new work of
political philosophy will be of great use to scholars of political
thought and readers seeking to understand what made Rousseau and
Nietzsche's thought so decidedly modern.
