Description
Recent Anglophone scholarship has successfully shown that Nietzsche's thought makes important contributions to a wide range of contemporary philosophical debates. In so doing, however, scholarship has lost sight of another important feature of Nietzsche's project, namely his desire to challenge the very conception of philosophy that has been used to assess his merits as a philosopher. In other words, contemporary scholarship has overlooked Nietzsche's contributions to metaphilosophy, i.e. debates around the nature, methods, and aims of philosophy. This important new collection of essays brings together an international group of distinguished scholars to explore and discuss these contributions and debates. It will appeal to anyone interested in metaphilosophy, Nietzsche studies, German studies, or intellectual history.
Author Biography
Paul S. Loeb is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Puget Sound, Washington. He is the author of The Death of Nietzsche's Zarathustra (Cambridge, 2010) and Unpublished Fragments from the Period of 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' (2019). Matthew Meyer is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Scranton. He is the author of Reading Nietzsche through the Ancients: An Analysis of Becoming, Perspectivism, and the Principle of Non-Contradiction (2014) and Nietzsche's Free Spirit Works: A Dialectical Reading (Cambridge, forthcoming).
Reviews'Loeb and Meyer have assembled a well-rounded cast of internationally recognized scholars to address the long-unanswered question: 'What exactly is philosophy for Nietzsche?' The resulting volume presents many sides to this crucial problem in a judicious and highly learned fashion.' Anthony K. Jensen, Providence College, Rhode Island 'The editors of this volume, Paul S. Loeb and Matthew Meyer, have gathered a number of exciting essays on the general topic of Nietzsche's metaphilosophy - a topic which has not enjoyed such detailed and close treatment in Anglo-American scholarship as is provided here.'
