A holistic reading of Nietzsche’s distinctive thought beyond the
“death of God.” In Nietzsche’s Kind of Philosophy, Richard
Schacht provides a holistic interpretation of Friedrich
Nietzsche’s distinctive thinking, developed over decades of
engagement with the philosopher’s work. For Schacht,
Nietzsche’s overarching project is to envision a “philosophy of
the future” attuned to new challenges facing Western humanity
after the “death of God,” when monotheism no longer anchors our
understanding of ourselves and our world. Schacht traces the
developmental arc of Nietzsche’s philosophical efforts
across Human, All Too Human, Daybreak, Joyful
Knowing (The Gay Science), Thus Spoke
Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, and On the Genealogy
of Morality. He then shows how familiar labels for
Nietzsche—nihilist, existentialist, individualist, free spirit,
and naturalist—prove insufficient individually but fruitful if
refined and taken together. The result is an expansive account of
Nietzsche’s kind of philosophy.
