The diversity of Nietzsche's books, and the sheer range of his
philosophical interests, have posed daunting challenges to his
interpreters. This Oxford Handbook addresses this multiplicity by
devoting each of its 32 essays to a focused topic, picked out by
the book's systematic plan. The aim is to treat each topic at the
best current level of philosophical scholarship on Nietzsche. The
first group of papers treat selected biographical issues: his
family relations, his relations to women, and his ill health and
eventual insanity. In Part 2 the papers treat Nietzsche in
historical context: his relations back to other philosophers-the
Greeks, Kant, and Schopenhauer-and to the cultural movement of
Romanticism, as well as his own later influence in an unlikely
place, on analytic philosophy. The papers in Part 3 treat a variety
of Nietzsche's works, from early to late and in styles ranging from
the 'aphoristic' The Gay Science and Beyond Good and Evil through
the poetic-mythic Thus Spoke Zarathustra to the florid
autobiography Ecce Homo. This focus on individual works, their
internal unity, and the way issues are handled within them, is an
important complement to the final three groups of papers, which
divide up Nietzsche's philosophical thought topically. The papers
in Part 4 treat issues in Nietzsche's value theory, ranging from
his metaethical views as to what values are, to his own values of
freedom and the overman, to his insistence on 'order of rank', and
his social-political views. The fifth group of papers treat
Nietzsche's epistemology and metaphysics, including such well-known
ideas as his perspectivism, his promotion of becoming over being,
and his thought of eternal recurrence. Finally, Part 6 treats
another famous idea-the will to power-as well as two linked ideas
that he uses will to power to explain, the drives, and life. This
Handbook will be a key resource for all scholars and advanced
students who work on Nietzsche.
