Vinod Acharya presents a new existential interpretation of
Nietzsche's philosophy. He contends that Nietzsche's peculiar form
of existentialism can be understood only by undertaking a thorough
analysis of his characterization and critique of metaphysics. This
reading remedies the shortcomings of previous existential
interpretations of Nietzsche, which typically view existentialism
as concerned primarily with the meaning of individual existence,
and therefore necessarily at odds with the abstraction and
objectivity of metaphysical thought. Acharya argues that the
approach of Nietzsche's philosophy, especially in his mature works,
is to make the typical existential position foundational, and then
to develop to the fullest the implications of this position. This
meta-existential approach necessarily yields an ambiguous and
open-ended critique of metaphysics. Taking issue with the
Heideggerian, the poststructuralist, and the naturalistic
interpretations, this book contends that Nietzsche neither simply
overcomes metaphysics nor remains trapped within its confines.
Acharya argues that an ever-renewed encounter with and critique of
metaphysics is an essential aspect of Nietzsche's
meta-existentialism.
