Nietzsche's Therapy examines Nietzsche's middle works in order to
challenge those views that dismiss his conception of
self-cultivation as a symptom of unadulterated narcissism. It aims
to develop a far more balanced and refined conception of his idea
of self-cultivation by re-examining the much neglected free-spirit
trilogy of Human, All Too Human, Daybreak, and The Gay Science.
Contra Nietzsche's critics, it argues that the kind of
self-cultivation that draws on the model of Hellenistic and Roman
Stoic philosophical therapeia. It suggests that he renovates this
therapeutic tradition through his own critical, psychoanalytic
insights into narcissism and its transformations. It reconstructs
Nietzsche's ethics of self-cultivation in terms of his
psychological analysis of the pathological symptoms of narcissism
and its healthy or positive transformations. In charting
Nietzsche's course from pathological narcissism to mature
individualism, Nietzsche's Therapy unpacks the philosophical and
psychological basis of his critique of Rousseau and Schopenhauer's
ethics of pitie/Mitleid, his use and analysis of comedy and humor
in his critical, deflationary treatment of the malady of
omnipotence, and his exploration of the idea of friendship as a
positive counterpoint to damaged forms of intersubjectivity.
