This long-overdue translation brings to the English-speaking world
the work that set the tone for the post-structuralist reading of
Nietzsche. The issue of style, of why Nietzsche wrote as he did, is
fundamental, on any level, to reading his texts. Some Nietzsche
critics (in particular, those, such as Jean Granier, indebted to
Heidegger's reading), in effect translated Nietzsche's terms back
into those of a philosophy of ontology. This book (which includes
an appendix specifically directed against the "Heideggerian"
reading) shows how such an approach fails to interrogate the
precise terms, such as "Nature" or "life", that Nietzsche used in
place of "being," and to ask the meaning of this substitution. The
author gives not only a reading of Nietzsche's ideas, but a method
for investigating his style. She shows in great detail how it
influences both Nietzsche's ideas and the way in which they are to
be understood. In so doing, she exemplifies how post-structuralist
methods can be used to open up classical philosophical texts to new
readings. She write conceptually in the knowledge that the concept
has no greater value than metaphor and is itself a condensation of
metaphors, rather than writing metaphorically as a way of
denigrating the concept and proposing metaphor as the norm, and
thus acknowledges the specificity of philosophy, its irreducibility
to any other form of expression-even when this philosophy has
nothing traditional about it any longer, even when it is, like
Nietzsche's an unheard-of and insolent philosophy.
