To think with Nietzsche against Nietzsche. Thus the editors
describe the strategy adopted in this volume to soften the
destructive effects of Nietzsche's philosophy with a hammer on
French philosophy since the 1960s. Frustrated by the infinite
inclusiveness of deconstructionism, the contributors to this volume
seek to renew the Enlightenment quest for rationality. Though
linked by no common dogma, these essays all argue that the French
Nietzsche transmitted through the deconstructionists must be
reexamined in light of the original context in which Nietzsche
worked. Each essay questions the viability of Nietzsche's thought
in the modern world, variously critiquing his philosophy of history
as obsessed with hierarchy, his views on religion and art as myopic
and irrational, and his stance on science as hopelessly
reactionary. Contending that we must abandon the Nietzsche propped
up as patron saint by French deconstructionists in order to return
to reason, these essays will stimulate debate not just among
Nietzscheans but among all with a stake in modern French
philosophy. Contributors are Alain Boyer, Andre Compte-Sponville,
Vincent Descombes, Luc Ferry, Robert Legros, Philippe Raynaud,
Alain Renault, and Pierre-Andre Taguieff.
