Nietzsche L'CEUvre Philosophique Expliquee Nietzsche / Ferry - CD 3561302523323

This important new book explores the ethical theory of Friedrich Nietzsche in light of recent work done in the philosophy of mind. Craig Dove examines issues of free will, communication, the way in which we construct the self, and the implications of all these for ethics. After dismissing what he calls the 'soul hypothesis', Nietzsche is left with a problem: how do we explain the sense of unity and continuity most of us experience as our identity? Drawing on recent work in cognitive science and philosophy of mind, this study shows that Nietzsche's tentative suggestions in the late nineteenth century have been supported by late twentieth century research. Arguing that work done in the philosophy of mind by Paul Churchland and Daniel Dennett helps to illuminate Nietzsche's positive ethical doctrine, Dove goes on to show that recent work has not adequately thought through the implications for ethics, while Nietzsche has already accomplished precisely that. This is an important and original contribution to an ongoing debate.

Nietzsche’s topic for his valedictorian dissertation at the school of Pforta was the poet Theognis, focusing on his life in Megara, his lyrical production, and his views on the gods, morality, and politics. Nietzsche saw Theognis as the intellectual champion of the defeated Megarian aristocracy, who sought to preserve the Dorian spirit and its noble virtues. The interests that guided Nietzsche transcended scientific philology and embraced a concern for the social and political context he saw present in Theognis’s work. Nietzsche: On Theognis of Megara argues convincingly for this early Nietzschean text as a work of rudimentary political philology, and the contributors show how Theognis’s aristocratism determined and guided Nietzsche’s critique of the moral point of view and his conception of an aristocratic state.

Nietzsche and Philosophy has long been recognized as one of the most important accounts of Nietzsche's philosophy, acclaimed for its rare combination of scholarly rigour and imaginative interpretation. Yet this is more than a major work on Nietzsche: the book opened a whole new avenue in post-war thought. Here Deleuze shows how Nietzsche began a new way of thinking which breaks with the dialectic as a method and escapes the confines of philosophy itself.

In Beyond Good and Evil Nietzsche calls on new philosophers to carry on the process of reinterpretation and revaluation that will constitute the philosophy of the future. This reconsideration will be pursued in what Nietzsche describes as a "postmoral" manner. The nine prominent interpreters in this collection examine different aspects of this postmoral agenda and show how Nietzsche's efforts to reorient philosophical thinking are of great importance to the way we understand ourselves, our values, our concepts of virtue, and our morality today. Through this examination Nietzsche emerges as a reconstructive rather than a deconstructive thinker.

„Aus den zahllosen Abhandlungen zum Werk Friedrich Nietzsche ragt die Gesamtdarstellung von Karl Jaspers immer noch als einzigartige Leistung heraus. Nietzsche wird als ‚großer Philosoph' historisch und systematisch umfassend vorgestellt. Von unverminderter Aktualität ist das souveräne, auf alle verfügbaren medizinischen Daten gestützte Urteil des Psychiaters Jaspers über Nietzsches Krankheit." Prof. Dr. Volker Gerhardt

Few philosophers have been as widely misunderstood as Nietzsche. His detractors and followers alike have often fundamentally misinterpreted him, distorting his views and intentions and criticizing or celebrating him for reasons removed from the views he actually held. Now Nietzsche assesses his place in European thought, concentrating upon his writings in the last decade of his productive life.

Im neunzehnten Jahrhundert galt Basel als eine von pietistisch-erwecklicher Frommigkeit gepragte Stadt. Ihren Ruf als das 'Fromme Basel' erhielt sie vornehmlich aufgrund der vielen Reich-Gottes-Werke, die Christian Friedrich Spittler als Sekretar der Deutschen Christentumsgesellschaft hier ins Leben rief. Diese Organisation war im 19. Jahrhundert zum wichtigsten Zentrum der europaischen Erweckungsbewegung, einer kritischen Erneuerungsbewegung innerhalb des Protestantismus, geworden. Der pietistisch-erwecklichen Glaubensart zugehorig zahlte sich auch die Gesellschaftsschicht, die damals das offentliche Leben der Stadt bestimmte. Nach den Trennungswirren der 1830er Jahre gingen diese Kreise eine intensive Verbindung mit dem politischen Konservatismus ein, bis sie, bedrangt vom aufkommenden politischen und kirchlichen Liberalismus der 1880er Jahre, den Radikalen und kirchlich Liberalen Macht und Einfluss uberlassen mussten. In eben dieser Zeit hielt sich der Philosoph Friedrich Nietzsche in der Rheinstadt auf. Noch nicht funfundzwanzig Jahre alt, war Nietzsche 1869 auf den Lehrstuhl fur griechische Sprache und Literatur der Universitat Basel berufen worden und blieb hier zehn Jahre. Nietzsche, einer der prononciertesten Kritiker des Christentums in der abendlandischen Geistesgeschichte, war in einem deutschen Pfarrhaus aufgewachsen. Schon in seinem Elternhaus, aber auch wahrend seiner Schul- und ersten Studienzeit war er mit der pietistisch-erwecklichen Frommigkeit in engen Kontakt gekommen, die er nun auch in Basel wieder antraf. Gerade auch im Kreis seiner Basler Bekannten war dies die vorherrschende Glaubensrichtung und hatte auf den Denker und seine Schriften nicht unwesentlichen Einfluss.

When Nietzsche published Beyond Good and Evil in 1886, he told a friend that it was a book that would not be read properly until “around the year 2000.” Now Laurence Lampert sets out to fulfill this prophecy by providing a section by section interpretation of this philosophical masterpiece that emphasizes its unity and depth as a comprehensive new teaching on nature and humanity.According to Lampert, Nietzsche begins with a critique of philosophy that is ultimately affirmative, because it shows how philosophy can arrive at a defensible ontological account of the way of all beings. Nietzsche next argues that a new post-Christian religion can arise out of the affirmation of the world disclosed to philosophy. Then, turning to the implications of the new ontology for morality and politics, Nietzsche argues that these can be reconstituted on the fundamental insights of the new philosophy. Nietzsche’s comprehensive depiction of this anti-Platonic philosophy ends with a chapter on nobility, in which he contends that what can now be publicly celebrated as noble in our species are its highest achievements of mind and spirit.

Henry Staten adopts an innovative "psychodialectical" approach to Nietzsche, drawn from Nietzsche's own doctrine that philosophical thought is governed by drives and instincts that―for Nietzsche as for Freud―are fundamentally sexual in nature. Staten explores what he calls the libidinal economy of the Nietzschean text, focusing on the dialectic between Nietzsche's conscious project and the system of erotic influences upon his writings. Addressing both Nietzsche's thematic concerns and the nuances of his rhetoric, Staten offers penetrating interpretations of individual works including The Genealogy of Morals, The Birth of Tragedy, and Thus Spake Zarathustra.

This book examines the nature of Freud’s relationship to the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche regarded himself, among other things, as a psychologist. His psychological explorations included an understanding of the meaning and function of dreams, the unconscious, sublimation of drives, drives turned inward upon the self, unconscious guilt, unconscious envy, unconscious resistance, and much more that anticipated some of Freud’s fundamental psychoanalytic concepts. Although Freud wrote of Nietzsche having anticipated psychoanalytic concepts, he denied that Nietzsche had any influence on his thought.

The series presents outstanding monographic interpretations of Nietzsche's work as a whole or of specific themes and aspects.

First published in 1918, Ernst Bertram's Nietzsche: Attempt at a Mythology substantially shaped the image of Nietzsche for the generation between the wars. It won the Nietzsche Society's first prize and was admired by luminous contemporaries including André Gide, Hermann Hesse, Gottfried Benn, and Thomas Mann. Although translated into French in 1932, the book was never translated into English following the decline of Nietzsche's and Bertram's reputations after 1945. Now, with Nietzsche's importance for twentieth-century thought undisputed, the work by one of his most influential interpreters can at last be read in English.Employing a perspectival technique inspired by Nietzsche himself, Bertram constructs a densely layered portrait of the thinker that shows him riven by deep and ultimately irresolvable cultural, historical, and psychological conflicts. At once lyrical and intensely probing, richly complex yet thematically coherent, Bertram's book is a masterpiece in a forgotten tradition of intellectual biography.

During 1888 in Turin, Italy, Nietzsche wrote three of his most important works--Ecce Homo, Twilight of the Idols, and The Antichrist. In this accessible, moving biography, Lesley Chamberlain examines with passion and insight the mind of a genius at its creative pinnacle. In her account, Freidrich Nietzsche emerges as a gentle, tortured man, dominated by his rigorous mind and his love of music, and soothed by the strangely otherworldly city of Turin
