Peter Sloterdijk's essay on Friedrich Nietzsche and the benefits
and dangers of narcissistic jubilation. For Peter Sloterdijk,
Friedrich Nietzsche represents nothing short of a "catastrophe in
the history of language"-a new evangelist for a linguistics of
narcissistic jubilation. Nietzsche offered a philosophical
declaration of independence from humility, a meeting-point of
sobriety and megalomania that for Sloterdijk has come to define the
very project of philosophy. Yet for all the significance of this
language-event named Nietzsche, Nietzsche's contributions have too
often been elided and the contradictions at the root of his
philosophy too often edited out. As Sloterdijk observes, "Never has
an author so insisted on distinction and yet attracted such
vulgarity." Nietzsche Apostle, drawn from a speech Sloterdijk gave
in 2000 on the hundredth anniversary of Nietzsche's death, looks at
the ways in which Nietzsche has been branded over the years through
selective compilation, and at the ways in which Nietzsche turned
himself into a brand-a brand announced by his proclaimed "fifth
Gospel," Thus Spoke Zarathustra. For Sloterdijk, the focus should
not be on the figure of Zarathustra or on the "will to power" often
used as a kind of philosophical shorthand to sum up Nietzsche's
work, but on Zarathustra's act of "speaking" itself. Nietzsche
Apostle offers a brief history of self-praise and self-affirmation,
an examination of the evolution of boasting (both by God and by
man), and a very original approach to Nietzsche, philosophy's first
designer brand of individualism.
