The full century that has elapsed since Nietzsche was at the height
of his work did not obliterate his impact. In many ways he is still
a contemporary philosopher, even in that sense of 'contemporary'
which points to the future. We may have outgrown his style (always,
however, admirable and exciting to read), his sense of drama, his
creative exaggeration, his sometimes flamboy ant posture of a rebel
wavering between the heroic and the puerile. Yet Nietzsche's
critique of transcendental values and, especially, his attack on
the inherited conceptions of rationality remain pertinent and
continue to pro voke anew cultural critique or dissent. Today
Nietzsche is no longer discussed apologetically, nor is his
radicalism shunned or suppressed. That his work remains the object
of extremely diverse readings is befitting a philosopher who
replaced the concept of truth with that of interpretation. It is,
indeed, around the concept of interpretation that much of the rem:
wed interest in Nietzsche seems to center today. Special emphasis
is being laid on his manner of doing philosophy, and his views on
interpretation and the genealogical method are often re-read in the
context of contemporary hermeneutics and "deconstructionist"
positions."
