Friedrich Nietzsche and the Politics of Transfiguration (expanded ed.)

A significant contribution to Nietzsche studies, the author examines both the personal and the political sides of Nietzsche’s writings to show how his writings can expand notions of democratic politics and democratic understanding.

Friedrich Nietzsche and the Politics of Transfiguration provides a comprehensive analysis of the politics that are implicit and explicit in Nietzsche's work. Tracy B. Strong's discussion shows that Nietzsche's writings are of a piece and have as their common goal a politics of transfiguration: a politics that seeks radical change in how human beings live and act in the modern Western world. This edition includes a new introduction that demonstrates how the styles of Nietzsche's writings expand our notions of democratic politics and democratic understanding.
