Arguably SAren Kierkegaard and Friedrich Nietzsche are the two most
significant moral philosophers of the nineteenth century, their
works showing a remarkably trenchant and penetrating awareness of
key ethical issues, while demonstrating a stylistic flair that is
rare in philosophical writing. Angier argues that, despite the
perceived stylistic opacity of these thinkers, their work does
admit of comparison and rigorous analytic scrutiny which in turn
yields new and significant insights into their philosophy. In this
book Angier expounds the view that Kierkegaard both anticipated,
and subjected to detailed critique, Nietzsche's central arguments
in moral philosophy, exposing the weaknesses of what were to become
the core Nietzschean positions and realizing the powerful
attraction for people that these ideas would have. Angier brings
this critique to our modern attention and defends the prefigured
Kierkegaardian critique of Nietzsche.
