This book offers a crucial new reading of Nietzsche through an
examination of his English and American influences, including
Darwin, Shakespeare, Mill, Hume, Emerson, Swift, Sterne and
Byron.This book offers the first detailed examination of the
influence of the English-speaking world on the development of
Nietzsche's philosophy. In recent years, Nietzsche's reputation has
undergone a transformation and he is today seen as one of the
greatest defenders of human freedom. His is more than just a model
for political liberty. It is a grand vision of what humanity could
be if it really unleashed its creative power. And Nietzsche owes
more than just a passing debt to the Anglo-Saxon world in the
construction of this vision.Yet much of what Nietzsche has to say
about the British philosophy reaches the pitch of denunciation and
personal insult. He refers to Darwin as 'mediocre'; and to John
Stuart Mill as 'that flathead'. While he gladly acknowledges the
French roots of his thought, very little has been said about the
English giants whose influence abounds in his work.Louise Mabille
fills a gap in the scholarship on Nietzsche by offering an
important and fascinating account of his engagement with the
Anglo-Saxon philosophical tradition.
