An advanced introduction for students and a re-orientation for
Nietzsche scholars and intellectual historians on the development
of his thought and the aesthetic construction of his identity as a
philosopher. Nietzsche looms over modern literature and thought;
according to Gottfried Benn, "everything my generation discussed,
thought through innerly; one could say: suffered; or one could even
say: took to the point of exhaustion -- allof it had already been
said . . . by Nietzsche; all the rest was just exegesis."
Nietzsche's influence on intellectual life today is arguably as
great; witness the various societies, journals, and websites and
the steady stream ofpapers, collections, and monographs. This
Companion offers new essays from the best Nietzsche scholars,
emphasizing the interrelatedness of his life and thought, eschewing
a superficial biographical method but taking seriously his claim
that great philosophy is "the self-confession of its author and a
kind of unintended and unremarked memoir." Each essay examines a
major work by Nietzsche; together, they offer an advanced
introduction for students of German Studies, philosophy, and
comparative literature as well as for the lay reader.
Re-establishing the links between Nietzsche's philosophical texts
and their biographical background, the volume alerts
Nietzschescholars and intellectual historians to the internal
development of his thought and the aesthetic construction of his
identity as a philosopher. Contributors: Ruth Abbey, Keith
Ansell-Pearson, Rebecca Bamford, Paul Bishop, Thomas H. Brobjer,
Daniel W. Conway, Adrian Del Caro, Carol Diethe, Michael Allen
Gillespie and Keegan F. Callanan, Laurence Lampert, Duncan Large,
Martin Liebscher, Martine Prange, Alan D. Schrift. Paul Bishop is
William Jacks Chair of Modern Languages at the University of
Glasgow.
