Nietzsche as Affirmative Thinker
Author: Y. Yovel
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400943601
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
The full century that has elapsed since Nietzsche was at the height of his work did not obliterate his impact. In many ways he is still a contemporary philosopher, even in that sense of 'contemporary' which points to the future. We may have outgrown his style (always, however, admirable and exciting to read), his sense of drama, his creative exaggeration, his sometimes flamboy ant posture of a rebel wavering between the heroic and the puerile. Yet Nietzsche's critique of transcendental values and, especially, his attack on the inherited conceptions of rationality remain pertinent and continue to pro voke anew cultural critique or dissent. Today Nietzsche is no longer discussed apologetically, nor is his radicalism shunned or suppressed. That his work remains the object of extremely diverse readings is befitting a philosopher who replaced the concept of truth with that of interpretation. It is, indeed, around the concept of interpretation that much of the rem:wed interest in Nietzsche seems to center today. Special emphasis is being laid on his manner of doing philosophy, and his views on interpretation and the genealogical method are often re-read in the context of contemporary hermeneutics and "deconstructionist" positions.

Nietzsche's Philosophy as a Way of Life
Author: Juan Esteban Guevara Reina

Book Description
In this essay I suggest that there are certain concepts in Nietzsche's middle period (Human All Too Human, Daybreak, The Gay Science) that can be further developed as a possible characterization of morality in a non-pejorative sense if seen through the lenses of philosophy as a way of life. This understanding of the philosophical enterprise revolves around the idea of practice, of philosophising as a certain exercise and technique, in which the question "how does one live" is not conceived as an epistemological or descriptive initiative but rather as a necessarily unfinished task, a disposition even, deprived of teleological pretences, instantiated in our very bodies and relationships. These, I believe, are pertinent even today for the conception of what philosophy does, and the individual and collective consequences of it. I believe this version of morality and of philosophy is one that Nietzsche develops in this middle period due to two main features...

Nietzsche on Morality and the Affirmation of Life
Author: Daniel Came
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192671014
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
At the core of Nietzsche's famous critique of 'morality' lies the sweeping claim that morality is the primary source of a stance of 'life-denial,' and hence an obstacle to the possibility of an affirmative stance toward life. Moral values, Nietzsche argues, are inimical to the affirmation of life, since they typically denigrate certain ineliminable features of the world and human existence (suffering, loss, impermanence, the body, instinctual desire). Other values, allegedly, are life-affirming because they cultivate or augment a life-affirming tendency. Nietzsche's pervasive concern with undermining morality and fostering an affirmative attitude towards life are thus closely intertwined: he attacks morality because it underwrites a condemnation of life and seeks to supplant morality with an alternative, life-enhancing ethics of affirmation. This volume brings together a number of new essays by leading Nietzsche scholars to examine these centrally important and overlapping themes in Nietzsche's philosophical enterprise.

Nietzsche and the Dionysian
Author: Peter Durno Murray
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900437275X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
Nietzsche and the Dionysian argues that the shuddering mania of the affect associated with Dionysus in Nietzsche’s early work runs as a thread through his thought and is linked to an originary interruption of self-consciousness articulated by the philosophical companion. In this capacity, the companion can be considered a ‘mask of Dionysus’, or one who assumes the singular role of the transmitter of the most valuable affirmative affect and initiates a compulsion to respond which incorporates the otherness of the companion. In the context of such engagements, Nietzsche envisages ‘Dionysian’ or divine ‘madness’ within an optics of life, through which an affirmative ethics can be thought. The ethical response to the philosophical companion requires an affirmation of the plurality of life, formulated in the imperatives to be ‘true to the earth’ and ‘become who you are’. Such an ethics, compelled by the Dionysian affect, grounds any future for humanity in the affirmation of the earth and life.

Nietzsche and the 'problem' of Morality
Author: Frank Cameron
Publisher: Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This book examines Nietzsche's views on morality in order to assess his contribution to moral philosophy. Frank Cameron explores Nietzsche's understanding of morality, the infamous 'campaign against morality, ' and his engagement with key figures in moral philosophy, including the influences of Schopenhauer and Rée, as well as the main figures representing the three major ethical traditions - Kant, Mill, and Aristotle. Cameron argues that Nietzsche's fundamental 'ethical' preoccupation with 'higher type' forms the basis of his ethic of human flourishing, but refutes that Nietzsche's positive morality fits comfortably within the moral tradition. In particular, Cameron challenges the attempts to situate Nietzsche within the tradition of virtue ethics. Nietzsche defends his affirmative ethic by presenting the character of Zarathustra (Thus Spoke Zarathustra) and later himself (Ecce Homo) as exemplars of human excellence who must rely on their ability to convince others performatively, rather than by means of discourse or argumentation.
