About the Book
Although forming impressions of Nietzsche is easy, doing justice to his philosophical concerns and his pursuit of them presents a formidable challenge. In this collection, Nietzsche emerges as no mere polemicist and iconoclast but rather as a "genuine philosopher"—one of those rare thinkers whose thought opens the way to new understanding of things of great importance, particularly with respect to human life and its enhancement.About the Author
Richard Schacht is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and Jubilee Professor of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His books include Nietzsche’s Kind of Philosophy and Hegel and After.Also by this author
Reviews
"Clearly explains some of the debates in Nietzsche scholarship. Schacht does much to avoid professional tunnel-vision and invite nonprofessionals to think about Nietzsche."—Kathleen Higgins, author of Nietzsche's "Zarathustra."
"An excellent summary and response to the current 'Nietzsche wars.' I like the way that Schacht personally attempts to expound and explain Nietzsche and take on various would-be experts and mistaken commentators."
—Robert C. Solomon, author of The Passions: Emotions and the Meaning of Life
