Nietzsche says "good Europeans" must not only cultivate a
"supra-national" view, but also "supra-European" perspective to
transcend their European biases and see beyond the horizon of
Western culture. The volume takes up such conceptual frontier
crossings and syntheses. Emphasizing Nietzsche's genealogy of
European culture and his reflections upon the constitution of
Europe in the broadest sense, its essays examine peoples and
nations, values and arts, knowledge and religion. Nietzsche's
apprehensions about the crises of nihilism and decadence and their
implications for Europe's (and humankind's) future are investigated
in this context. Concerning the crossing of notional frontiers,
contributors examine Nietzsche's hoped-for dismantling of Europe's
state borders, the overcoming of national prejudices and rivalries,
and the propagation of a revitalizing "supra-European" perspective
on the continent, its culture(s) and future. They also illuminate
lines of syntheses, notably the syncretism of the ancient Greeks
and its possible example for the European culture to-be. Finally
certain of Europe's current problems are considered via the
critical apparatus furnished by Nietzsche's philosophy and the
diagnostic tools it provides.
