The first focused study of Nietzsche's Dawn, offering a close
reading of the text by two of the leading scholars on the
philosophy of Nietzsche Published in 1881, Dawn: Thoughts on the
Presumptions of Morality represents a significant moment in the
development of Nietzsche's philosophy and his break with German
philosophic thought. Though groundbreaking in many ways, Dawn
remains the least studied of Nietzsche's work. In Nietzsche's Dawn:
Philosophy, Ethics, and the Passion of Knowledge, authors Keith
Ansell-Pearson and Rebecca Bamford present a thorough treatment of
the second of Nietzsche's so-called "free spirit" trilogy. This
unique book explores Nietzsche's philosophy at the time of Dawn's
writing and discusses the modern relevance of themes such as fear,
superstition, terror, and moral and religious fanaticism. The
authors highlight Dawn's links with key areas of philosophical
inquiry, such as "the art of living well," skepticism, and
naturalism. The book begins by introducing Dawn and discussing how
to read Nietzsche, his literary and philosophical influences, his
relation to German philosophy, and his efforts to advance his "free
spirit" philosophy. Subsequent discussions address a wide range of
topics relevant to Dawn, including presumptions of customary
morality, hatred of the self, free-minded thinking, and embracing
science and the passion of knowledge. Providing a lively and
imaginative engagement with Nietzsche's text, this book: Highlights
the importance of an often-neglected text from Nietzsche's middle
writings Examines Nietzsche's campaign against customary morality
Discusses Nietzsche's responsiveness to key Enlightenment ideas
Offers insights on Nietzsche's philosophical practice and
influences Contextualizes a long-overlooked work by Nietzsche
within the philosopher's life of writing Like no other book on the
subject, Nietzsche's Dawn: Philosophy, Ethics, and the Passion of
Knowledge is a must-read for advanced undergraduate and graduate
students, instructors, and scholars in philosophy, as well as
general readers with interest in Nietzsche, particularly his middle
writings.
