Peter Bornedal provides an interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy
as a whole in the context of 19th century philosophy of mind and
cognition. The study explains Nietzsche's notion of truth; his
epistemology; his notions of the split and fragmented subject, of
master, slave, and priest; furthermore, it offers a new
interpretation of the enigmatic "eternal recurrence". It also
suggests how important aspects of Nietzsche's thinking can be read
as a sophisticated critique of ideology. From studies in
Nietzsche's work as a whole, not least in his so-called
Nachgelassene Fragmente, the book reconstructs aspects of
Nietzsche's thinking that have largely been under-described in
especially the Anglo-Saxon Nietzsche-reception. The study makes the
case that Nietzsche in his epistemology, his psychology, and his
cognitive theory is responding to several scientific discoveries
occuring during the 19th century. Read within the context of
contemporary cognitive-psychological-evolutionary debates,
Nietzsche's philosophy is seen as far more scientistic, and far
less poetical-metaphysical, than it has in recent reception-history
been received.
