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and metaphysics, drawing extensively not only on his published works but also his voluminous notebooks, largely unpublished in English.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 brings philosophical learning of an impressive scope to bear on his reading of Nietzsche ... Poellner leads the reader down a lengthy and winding path ... the path is one worth taking, not so much for its ultimate destination, which is a familiar rejection of Nietzsche's antiessentialism and psychology, but rather for the engaging twists and turns it takes along the way
