The last decade has seen a very considerable revival of interest in
Nietzsche. However, many of the studies available in English fail
to do justice to the complexity of his writings and tend to involve
only very partial and limited readings of his work. This book
offers a new and comprehensive interpretation and a detailed
critical assessment of Nietzsche's later ideas on epistemology and
metaphysics, drawing extensively not only on his published works
but also his voluminous notebooks, largely unpublished in English.
The author examines Nietzsche's various distinct lines of thought
on the traditionally central areas of philosophy and shows in what
specific sense Nietzsche, as he himself claimed, might be said to
have moved beyond these questions. Throughout the book,
considerable attention is paid both to the historical context of
his writings and to subsequent developments in
philosophy-English-language as well as Continental European. Among
the themes discussed are Nietzsche's relation to scepticism and to
evolutionary epistemology; his analysis of `objective reality' and
the associated `perspectivism'; his criticism of the
metaphysician's `will to truth' and the related analysis of the
intellectual paradigm he called the `ascetic ideal'; and his notion
of unconscious mental states; and the concept of the will to power
and its relation to metaphysics. Dr Peollner, while recognizing the
originality of Nietzsche's influential new philosophical paradigm,
shows that his thought has closer affinities to the orthodox
philosophical tradition than is generally supposed.
