Plato and Nietzsche - Their Philosophical Art (Hardcover)

It is commonly known that Plato is Nietzsche's bete noire among philosophers, yet there is no full-length treatment in English of their ideas in dialogue or debate. Plato and Nietzsche is an advanced introduction to these two thinkers, with original insights and provocative arguments interspersed throughout the text. Through a rigorous exploration of their ideas on art, metaphysics, ethics, and the nature of philosophy and explaining and analyzing each man's distinctive approach, Mark Anderson demonstrates the many and varied ways they play off against one another. This book provides the requisite background to understand what, really, is at issue between these two philosophers and to develop an awareness that Nietzsche's stance on Plato is more nuanced and complicated than it is sometimes presented as being. Mark Anderson provides anyone approaching Nietzsche's work with an understanding of Plato, and those interested in Plato with an exploration of Nietzsche's many criticisms of Platonic philosophy.
