Peter Poellner

Opis

Poellner here offers a comprehensive interpretation of Nietzsche's later ideas on epistemology and metaphysics, drawing extensively not only on his published works but also his voluminous notebooks, largely unpublished in English. He examines Nietzsche's various distinct lines of thought on the traditionally central areas of philosophy and shows in what specific sense Nietzsche, as he himself claimed, might be said to have moved beyond these questions. He pays considerable attention throughout both to the historical context of Nietzsche's writings and to subsequent developments in philosophy--English-language as well as Continental.

Recenzje

Poellner is commendably cautious in the claims he makes for his various interpretations, but the picture that he outlines in Nietzsche and Metaphysics is of a rather more wide-ranging epsitemological and metaphysical base to Nietzche's thought than one might suspect from even a close reading of the published works.
