The Joyous Science is a liberating voyage of discovery as
Nietzsche's realization that 'God is dead' and his critique of
morality, the arts and modernity give way to an exhilarating
doctrine of self-emancipation and the concept of eternal
recurrence. Here is Nietzsche at his most personal and affirmative;
in his words, this is a book of 'exuberance, restlessness,
contrariety and April showers'. With its unique voice and style,
its playful combination of poetry and prose, and its invigorating
quest for self-emancipation, The Joyous Science is a literary tour
de force and quite possibly Nietzsche's best book.
Continuum's Guides for the Perplexed are clear, concise and
accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that
students and readers can find especially challenging. Concentrating
specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to
fathom, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas,
guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of demanding
material. Friedrich Nietzsche is one of the best known and most
widely read of philosophers, whose work and ideas have proved
influential to leading figures in all areas of cultural life. Yet
his ideas are also among the most challenging regularly encountered
by students. His method and language can seem obscure and oblique,
forcing the reader to struggle on his or her own and reflecting
Nietzsche's desire that his readers form their own answers for
themselves. Nietzsche: A Guide for the Perplexed is a clear and
thorough account of Nietzsche's philosophy, his major works and
ideas, providing an ideal guide to the important and complex
thought of this key philosopher. The book covers the whole range of
Nietzsche's work, offering a detailed review of his landmark text,
Thus Spoke Zarathustra, together with examination of his early and
later work. Geared towards the specific requirements of students
who need to reach a sound understanding of Nietzsche's thought, the
book also provides a cogent and reliable survey of the various,
often profoundly different, interpretations of his work and ideas.
This is the ideal companion to the study of this most influential
and challenging of philosophers.
'We have left dry land and put out to sea! We have burned the
bridge behind us - what is more, we have burned the land behind
us!' Nietzsche's devastating demolition of religion would have
seismic consequences for future generations. With God dead, he
envisages a brilliant future for humanity: one in which individuals
would at last be responsible for their destinies. One of twenty new
books in the bestselling Penguin Great Ideas series. This new
selection showcases a diverse list of thinkers who have helped
shape our world today, from anarchists to stoics, feminists to
prophets, satirists to Zen Buddhists.
Kevin Hill presents a highly original study of Nietzsche's thought, the first book to examine in detail his debt to the work of Kant. Hill argues that Nietzsche is a systematic philosopher who knew Kant far better than is commonly thought, and that he can only be properly understood in relation to him. Nietzsche's Critiques will be of great value to scholars and students with interests in either of these philosophical giants, or in the history of ideas generally.

'This world is the will to power - and nothing besides!' One of the
great minds of modernity, Friedrich Nietzsche smashed through the
beliefs of his age. These writings, which did much to establish his
reputation as a philosopher, offer some of his most powerful and
troubling thoughts: on how the values of a new, aggressive elite
will save a nihilistic, mediocre Europe, and, most famously, on the
'will to power' - ideas that were seized upon and twisted by later
readers. Taken from Nietzsche's unpublished notebooks and assembled
by his sister after his death, The Will to Power now appears with
previous errors corrected. Translated by R. Kevin Hill and Michael
A. Scarpitti with an Introduction and Notes by R. Kevin Hill
Kevin Hill's highly original new interpretation of Nietzsche's
philosophy is the first to examine in detail his debt to Kant, in
particular the Critique of Pure Reason, Critique of Practical
Reason, and Critique of Judgement. Nietzsche, Hill argues, knew
Kant far better than is commonly thought, and can only be
thoroughly understood in relation to Kant. Nietzsche's Critiques
maintains that beneath the surface of his texts there is a
systematic commitment to a form of early Neo-Kantianism in
metaphysics and epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics, grounded in
his reading of the three Critiques, Kuno Fischer's commentary on
the first Critique, and Friedrich Lange's discussion of Kant in The
History of Materialism. The book also documents the decisive
influence Nietzsche's close reading of the Critique of Judgement
had on the writing of the Birth of Tragedy, and offers a remarkably
accessible interpretation of Kant's system, while clarifying such
difficult issues as the interpretation of Kant's 'Transcendental
Deduction' and his notion of reflective judgement. Lucid and
thorough, Hill's work will be of great value to scholars and
students with interests in either of these philosophical giants, or
in the history of ideas generally.
