Nietzsche's New Seas

Explorations in Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Politics

Gillespie Michael Allen, Strong Tracy B.

"Nietzsche's New Seas" makes available for the first time in English a representative sample of the best recent Nietzsche scholarship from Germany, France, and the United States. Michael Allen Gillespie and Tracy B. Strong have brought together scholars from a variety of disciplines – philosophy, history, literary criticism, and musicology – and from schools of thought that differ both methodologically and ideologically. The contributors – Karsten Harries, Robert Pippin, Eugen Fink, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Kurt Paul Janz, Sarah Kofman, Jean-Michel Rey, and the editors themselves – take a new approach to Nietzsche, one that begins with the claim that his enigmatic utterances can best be understood by examining the style or structure of his thought.
