Nietzsche and Classical Greek Philosophy: Beautiful and Diseased
explains Friedrich Nietzsche's ambivalence toward Socrates, Plato,
and Aristotle. Daw-Nay N. R. Evans Jr. argues that Nietzsche's
relationship to his classical Greek predecessors is more subtle and
systematic than previously believed. He contends that Nietzsche's
seemingly personal attacks on his philosophical rivals hide
philosophically sophisticated disputes that deserve greater
attention. Evans demonstrates how Nietzsche's encounters with
Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle reveal the philosophical influence
they exercised on Nietzsche's thought and the philosophical
problems that he sought to address through those encounters. Having
illustrated Nietzsche's ambivalence Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle,
Evans draws on Nietzsche's admiration for Heraclitus as a
counterpoint to Plato to suggest that the classical Greek
philosophers are just as important to Nietzsche's thought as their
pre-Socratic precursors. This book will appeal to those interested
in continental philosophy, ancient philosophy, and German studies.
