Wide-ranging essays making up the first major study of Nietzsche
and the classical tradition in a quarter of a century. This volume
collects a wide-ranging set of essays examining Friedrich
Nietzsche's engagement with antiquity in all its aspects. It
investigates Nietzsche's reaction and response to the concept of
"classicism," with particular reference to his work on Greek
culture as a philologist in Basel and later as a philosopher of
modernity, and to his reception of German classicism in all his
texts. The book should be of interest to students of ancient
history and classics, philosophy, comparative literature, and
Germanistik. Taken together, these papers suggest that classicism
is both a more significant, and a more contested, concept for
Nietzsche than is often realized, and it demonstratesthe need for a
return to a close attention to the intellectual-historical context
in terms of which Nietzsche saw himself operating. An awareness of
the rich variety of academic backgrounds, methodologies, and
techniques of reading evinced in these chapters is perhaps the only
way for the contemporary scholar to come to grips with what
classicism meant for Nietzsche, and hence what Nietzsche means for
us today. The book is divided into five sections -- The Classical
Greeks; Pre-Socratics and Pythagoreans, Cynics and Stoics;
Nietzsche and the Platonic Tradition; Contestations; and German
Classicism -- and constitutes the first major study of Nietzsche
and the classical tradition in a quarter of a century.
