Description
Book SynopsisA reappraisal ofEcce HomoandTheAntichristwithin Nietzsche's oeuvre. Nietzsche's Legacytakes on the most challenging andmisunderstood works in Nietzsche's oeuvre to illuminate his view of what aphilosopher isand what constitutes a philosophic life. InterpretingEcceHomoandThe Antichristas twin books meant toreplace the abandonedWill to Powerproject, Heinrich Meierrecovers them from the stigma of Nietzsche's late mental collapse, showing that these works are, aboveall, a lucid self-assessment. The carefully written pair contains both the highest affirmationthe Yes of the revaluation of all valuesand the most resolute negationthe No to Christianity. How the Yes and the No go together, how the relation between nature and politics is to be determined, how Nietzsche's intention is governing the political-philosophical double-face: this is the subject ofNietzsche's Legacy, which opens up a new understanding of Nietzsche's philosophy as a whole.
