The principal aim of this volume is to elucidate what freedom,
sovereignty, and autonomy mean for Nietzsche and what philosophical
resources he gives us to re-think these crucial concepts. A related
aim is to examine how Nietzsche connects these concepts to his
thoughts about life-affirmation, self-love, promise-making, agency,
the 'will to nothingness', and the 'eternal recurrence', as well as
to his search for a 'genealogical' understanding of morality.
These twelve essays by leading Nietzsche scholars ask such key
questions as: Can we reconcile his rejection of free will with his
positive invocations of the notion of free will? How does
Nietzsche's celebration of freedom and free spirits sit with his
claim that we all have an unchangeable fate? What is the relation
between his concepts of freedom and self-overcoming?
The depth in which these and related issues are explored gives this
volume its value, not only to those interested in Nietzsche, but to
all who are concerned with the free will debate, ethics, theory of
action, and the history of philosophy.
