His accusers identify in his 'superman' the origins of Nazism, and thus issue an irrevocable condemnation; his defenders pursue a hermeneutics of innocence founded ultimately in allegory. In a work that constitutes the most important contribution to Nietzschean studies in recent decades, Domenico Losurdo instead pursues a less reductive strategy. Taking literally the ruthless implications of Nietzsche's anti-democratic thinking - his celebration of slavery, of war and colonial expansion, and eugenics - he nevertheless refuses to treat these from the perspective of the mid-twentieth century. In doing so, he restores Nietzsche's works to their complex nineteenth-century context, and presents a more compelling account of the importance of Nietzsche as philosopher than can be expected from his many contemporary apologists"-- |cProvided by publisher. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web 588 Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. 600 10 Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm, |d1844-1900. |=^A19365 650 0 Philosophy, Modern. |=^A17671 655 0 Electronic books. |=^A491897 700 1 Fluss, Harrison. |=^A1446486 700 1 Benton, Gregor. |=^A301133 776 08 |iPrint version:Losurdo, Domenico. |tNietzsche, the aristocratic rebel |dLeiden ; Boston : Brill, [2019] |z9789004270947 |w(DLC) 2019036346 856 40 |zFull text available from Ebook Central - Academic Complete |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/eastcarolina/detail.action?docID=6853663 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJOYNER188 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hHSL77 949 CLICK ON WEB ADDRESS |wASIS |hJMUSIC60 596 1 3 4 998 5925463
