Nietzsche worked to comprehend the nature of the individual.
Richard White shows how Nietzsche was inspired and guided by the
question of personal sovereignty and how through his writings
sought to provoke the very sovereignty he described. White argues
that Nietzsche is a philosopher our contemporary age must therefore
come to understand if we are ever to secure a genuinely meaningful
direction for the future. Profoundly relevant to our era,
Nietzsche's philosophy addresses a version of individuality that
allows us to move beyond the self-dispossession of mass society and
the alternative of selfish individualism - to fully understand how
one becomes what one is. Nietzsche described himself as a godless
anti-metaphysician. These writings encourage the student to
question any reading that fails to address Nietzsche's sense of
irony with respect to his own philosophical claims. The anthology
includes the best recent writings on Nietzsche. It covers all the
main themes of Nietzsche's philosophy and pays particular attention
to Nietzsche's discussion of value and the need for a re-evaluation
of values; his critique of metaphysics and the problem of
knowledge; and his account of art and politics.
