Beschreibung

Edinburgh Critical Guides to Nietzsche Series Series editors: Keith Ansell-Pearson and Daniel Conway This series offers a comprehensive guide to the key texts and philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche for students and scholars alike. Each of his texts will be clearly explained in its historical context. The books also feature new research and demonstrate why Nietzsche remains such a relevant figure today. Each book includes: . A chronology of life and work . A glossary of key terms . An index of names and subjects and an index of passages cited . A guide to further reading Discover the whole series at edinburghuniversitypress.com/series/egn A guide to the whole of Nietzsche's understudied early masterpiece Unfashionable Observations remains a puzzle. Comprised of four independent essays it is hard to see what structure, principles and arguments unify the text. Jeffrey Church offers the first full treatment of all the essays, tracing the common themes of freedom, culture and genius which unify the book as a whole. Requiring no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or the text, Church sets the essays in historical and philosophical context, takes you through the text section-by-section and offers a structural overview of each essay. You will find the main debates in the scholarship and deepen your understanding of the overall logic and development of these often opaque essays. Jeffrey Church is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Houston.
