Description
Book SynopsisIn Decadence of the French Nietzsche author James Brusseau describes how and why French Nietzscheanism is contorting into decadence where philosophy is dedicated to the intensification of thought and the degradation of stolid truth.
Trade ReviewThis book is indeed an original and significant contribution to the field—of philosophy itself, and not merely studies of Nietzsche or French Nietzscheanism. The latter two are worked out and explored from numerous directions in the course of the book. At bottom, the book is a lucid and self-reflective meditation on what it means to think. -- Daniel W. Smith, Purdue University
