An Introduction to Nietzsche as Political Thinker : The Perfect Nihilist Paperback / softback
by Keith (University of Warwick) Ansell-Pearson
Paperback / softback
Description
This is a lively and engaging introduction to the contentious topic of Nietzsche's political thought.
It traces the development of Nietzsche's thinking on politics from his earliest writings to the mature work in which he advocates aristocratic radicalism as opposed to 'petty' European nationalism.
The key ideas of the will to power, eternal return and the overman are discussed and all Nietzsche's major works analysed in detail, such as Beyond Good and Evil and The Genealogy of Morals, within the context of the concerns of modern political theory.
The book concludes with an assessment of Nietzsche's enduring relevance and of the insights afforded by contemporary liberal and feminist readings.
This textbook will be essential for all students of Nietzsche and of the history of political ideas.
It includes a chronology of Nietzsche's life and works and a guide to further reading.
