Beautifully packaged reissue of the vividly lyrical biography of Nietzsche that John Banville called 'a major intellectual event' In 1888, philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche moved to Turin. This would be the year in which he wrote three of his greatest works: Twilight of the Idols, The Antichrist, and Ecce Homo; it would also be his last year of writing. He suffered a debilitating nervous breakdown in the first days of the following year. In this probing, elegant biography of that pivotal year, Lesley Chamberlain undoes popular clichés and misconceptions about Nietzsche by offering a deeply complex approach to his character and work. Focusing as much on Nietzsche's daily habits, anxieties and insecurities as on the development of his philosophy, Nietzsche in Turin offers a uniquely lively portrait of the great thinker, and of the furiously productive days that preceded his decline.

Sein Leben und Denken lässt sich exakt in ein Davor und ein Danach teilen. Am 3. Januar 1889 sah Nietzsche in Turin, wie ein Kutscher sein Pferd schlug, eilte hinzu, umarmte es voller Mitleid, umschlang seinen Hals – und brach zusammen. Danach war nichts mehr, wie es war. Aber wieso Turin? Wie heiß war der vorige Sommer in Sils gewesen. Diesmal zog es ihn nicht ans Meer, nicht nach Genua oder Nizza. Die Erlösung für Hirn und Auge wusste er anderwärts: Turin. Warum hatte er es nicht eher gefunden? Diese Stadt war im April ein einziger Blütenkelch voll guter Laune gewesen, er hatte trotz des Karossengerassels einen elysischen Schlaf genossen. Nirgends war er je mit so viel Freiheit herumgegangen wie in diesen blütenüberschütteten Alleen, im Halbschatten der aristokratisch ruhigen Arkaden und in den Promenaden am Po mit wechselnden Blicken über grünende Inselchen in die reiche, bunte, malerische, von Wipfeln überquellende Hügelwelt der Gärten und in die ferne, reine, in ihrer Klarheit dennoch übernahe Schneewildnis des Hochgebirges. Die Stadt, für die Füße wie für die Augen klassisch, würdig und ernst, großartig, nicht großstädtisch, ohne das prätentiöse Durcheinander widerstreitender Epochen durchweg in einem fürstlichen Geschmack erbaut, sich überall selbst entsprechend bis in die Farbe, gelb bis rötlichbraun, hatte mit ihrem angenehmen, dem Kurzsichtigen nicht mit Stolperkanten auflauernden Pflaster und ihrer Größe und Großartigkeit die angenehmste Gefangenschaft über ihn beschlossen, ihn bestrickt mit einem Fluidum, das immer schon das seine gewesen war. Mit dem Turiner Wetter ließ sich leicht fertig werden, sogar bei trübem Himmel. Mehr Sonnentage als Nizza! Die reizend leichte, leichtfertige, stets lichterfüllte Luft verlieh schwerfälligsten Gedanken Flügel. Sie hatte ihn, trocken und anregend, wie er sie brauchte, in einen Arbeitsrausch versetzt, manchmal bei offenem Fenster bis tief in die von Lauten der Lebenslust durchtanzte Nacht. Jedes Gesicht war ihm irgendwie liebenswürdig vorgekommen, keine Spur Vorteilsucht oder Betrug, nur Sympathie, die Sympathie erwidert, vor allem bei jungen Leuten und älteren Junggesellen, höheren Schülern und Offizieren, in Trattorien wie in luxuriösen Cafés ein unglaubliches Entgegenkommen, auch bei den Preisen, abends im Lichterglanz Musik ohne Aufpreis, hübsch, frivol und simpel und doch voll Noblesse, wie es sich für eine Residenz gehörte. Eine kapitale Entdeckung, dieses Turin. Der erste Ort, an dem er möglich war.
In a work of blistering dark hilarity, a young Nietzsche experiences life in a metal band & the tribulations of finals season in a modern secondary school When a new student transfers in from a posh private school, he falls in with a group of like-minded suburban stoners, artists, and outcasts—too smart and creative for their own good. His classmates nickname their new friend Nietzsche (for his braininess and bleak outlook on life), and decide he must be the front man of their metal band, now christened Nietzsche and the Burbs. With the abyss of graduation—not to mention their first gig—looming ahead, the group ramps up their experimentations with sex, drugs, and...nihilist philosophy. Are they as doomed as their intellectual heroes? And why does the end of youth feel like such a universal tragedy? And as they ponder life's biggies, this sly, elegant, and often laugh-out-loud funny story of would-be rebels becomes something special: an absorbing and stirring reminder of a particular, exciting yet bittersweet moment in life...and a reminder that all adolescents are philosophers, and all philosophers are adolescents at heart.
Nietzsche, the Aristocratic Rebel by Domenico Losurdo Pdf
Perhaps no philosopher is more of a conundrum than Nietzsche, the solitary rebel, poet, wayfarer, anti-revolutionary Aufklärer and theorist of aristocratic radicalism. His accusers identify in his ‘superman’ the origins of Nazism, and thus issue an irrevocable condemnation; his defenders pursue a hermeneutics of innocence founded ultimately in allegory. In a work that constitutes the most important contribution to Nietzschean studies in recent decades, Domenico Losurdo instead pursues a less reductive strategy. Taking literally the ruthless implications of Nietzsche's anti-democratic thinking – his celebration of slavery, of war and colonial expansion, and eugenics – he nevertheless refuses to treat these from the perspective of the mid-twentieth century. In doing so, he restores Nietzsche’s works to their complex nineteenth-century context, and presents a more compelling account of the importance of Nietzsche as philosopher than can be expected from his many contemporary apologists. Translated by Gregor Benton. With an Introduction by Harrison Fluss. Originally published in Italian by Bollati Boringhieri Editore as Domenico Losurdo, Nietzsche, il ribelle aristocratico: Biografia intellettuale e bilancio critico, Turin, 2002.
What Nietzsche Really Said by Robert C. Solomon,Kathleen M. Higgins Pdf
What Nietzsche Really Said gives us a lucid overview -- both informative and entertaining -- of perhaps the most widely read and least understood philosopher in history. Friedrich Nietzsche's aggressive independence, flamboyance, sarcasm, and celebration of strength have struck responsive chords in contemporary culture. More people than ever are reading and discussing his writings. But Nietzsche's ideas are often overshadowed by the myths and rumors that surround his sex life, his politics, and his sanity. In this lively and comprehensive analysis, Nietzsche scholars Robert C. Solomon and Kathleen M. Higgins get to the heart of Nietzsche's philosophy, from his ideas on "the will to power" to his attack on religion and morality and his infamous Übermensch (superman). What Nietzsche Really Said offers both guidelines and insights for reading and understanding this controversial thinker. Written with sophistication and wit, this book provides an excellent summary of the life and work of one of history's most provocative philosophers.
"A stimulating book about combating despair and complacency with searching reflection." --Heller McAlpin, NPR.org Named a Best Book of 2018 by NPR. One of Lit Hub's 15 Books You Should Read in September and one of Outside's Best Books of Fall A revelatory Alpine journey in the spirit of the great Romantic thinker Friedrich Nietzsche Hiking with Nietzsche: Becoming Who You Are is a tale of two philosophical journeys—one made by John Kaag as an introspective young man of nineteen, the other seventeen years later, in radically different circumstances: he is now a husband and father, and his wife and small child are in tow. Kaag sets off for the Swiss peaks above Sils Maria where Nietzsche wrote his landmark work Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Both of Kaag’s journeys are made in search of the wisdom at the core of Nietzsche’s philosophy, yet they deliver him to radically different interpretations and, more crucially, revelations about the human condition. Just as Kaag’s acclaimed debut, American Philosophy: A Love Story, seamlessly wove together his philosophical discoveries with his search for meaning, Hiking with Nietzsche is a fascinating exploration not only of Nietzsche’s ideals but of how his experience of living relates to us as individuals in the twenty-first century. Bold, intimate, and rich with insight, Hiking with Nietzsche is about defeating complacency, balancing sanity and madness, and coming to grips with the unobtainable. As Kaag hikes, alone or with his family, but always with Nietzsche, he recognizes that even slipping can be instructive. It is in the process of climbing, and through the inevitable missteps, that one has the chance, in Nietzsche’s words, to “become who you are."
This renowned introduction - already a standard text in Europe - is translated here for the first time. Vattimo uses Heideggerean and cultural-critical perspectives to reassess the work and thought of Nietzsche.
EPZ Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle by Pierre Klossowski Pdf
'The greatest book of philosophy I have ever read, on a par with Nietzsche himself.' Michel Foucault Pierre Klossowski (1905-) is the author of numerous philosophical works, as well as several novels. He published many translations of German poets and philosophers, including Nietzsche himself. Recognised as a masterpiece of Nietzsche scholarship, Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle emphasises and explores the notion of Eternal Return - central to an understanding of Nietzsche's self-denial, self-refutation and self-consumption. Translated by Daniel W. Smith>
The epic wisdom contained in a lost library helps the author turn his life around John Kaag is a dispirited young philosopher at sea in his marriage and his career when he stumbles upon West Wind, a ruin of an estate in the hinterlands of New Hampshire that belonged to the eminent Harvard philosopher William Ernest Hocking. Hocking was one of the last true giants of American philosophy and a direct intellectual descendent of William James, the father of American philosophy and psychology, with whom Kaag feels a deep kinship. It is James’s question “Is life worth living?” that guides this remarkable book. The books Kaag discovers in the Hocking library are crawling with insects and full of mold. But he resolves to restore them, as he immediately recognizes their importance. Not only does the library at West Wind contain handwritten notes from Whitman and inscriptions from Frost, but there are startlingly rare first editions of Hobbes, Descartes, and Kant. As Kaag begins to catalog and read through these priceless volumes, he embarks on a thrilling journey that leads him to the life-affirming tenets of American philosophy—self-reliance, pragmatism, and transcendence—and to a brilliant young Kantian who joins him in the restoration of the Hocking books. Part intellectual history, part memoir, American Philosophy is ultimately about love, freedom, and the role that wisdom can play in turning one’s life around.
