Ruth Abbey

Nietzsche's Human, All Too Human

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A guide to one of Nietzsche's earlier and lesser known texts This is the first comprehensive study of Human, All Too Human. This important book, which is Nietzsche's longest, has received little scholarly attention. It initiates some important features that become permanent in his work, such as his experiments in a diversity of writing styles within a single work, his self-representation as a psychologist, his genealogical excavations of morality and his appeal to fellow Europeans to overcome the parochialism and antagonism of nationalism. Requiring no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or his text, Ruth Abbey maps her chapters onto those of Nietzsche's text and includes a separate chapter to cover the essays Assorted Opinions and Maxims and The Wanderer and Its Shadow, which were originally published as separate works. Ruth Abbey is Professor in the Department of Social Sciences, Swinburne University, Australia.
