Nietzsche, Nihilism and the Philosophy of the Future

Nietzsche, Nihilism and the Philosophy of the Future examines Nietzsche''s analysis of and response to contemporary nihilism, the sense that nothing has value or meaning. Eleven newly-commissioned essays from an influential team of contributors illustrate the richness and complexity of Nietzsche''s thought by bringing together a diverse collection of perspectives on Nietzsche.Nietzsche''s engagement with nihilism has been relatively neglected by recent scholarship, despite the fact that Nietzsche himself regarded it as one of the most original and important aspect of his thought. This book addresses that gap in the literature by exploring this central and compelling area of Nietzsche''s thought. The essays concentrate on Nietzsche''s philosophical analysis of nihilism, the cultural politics of his reaction to nihilism, and the rhetorical dimensions and intricacies of his texts.>
