Starting with Nietzsche

Covering all the key concepts of Nietzsche''s work, Starting with Nietzsche provides an accessible introduction to the development of and motivation behind the ideas that are embodied in his key works. Thematically structured, the book encourages the reader to engage with Nietzsche''s thought, leading him or her to a more thorough understanding of the roots of his philosophical concerns and the enormous influence of his ideas. Covering the full range of Nietzsche''s writings, the book shows that, despite Nietzsche''s notoriously anti-systematic approach, his philosophy in fact constitutes a coherent and unified system of thought. Crucially, the book introduces the major motivations and influences behind Nietzsche''s work, clarifies his idea of the role of the philosopher and demonstrates the impact his work has had on a huge range of topics in contemporary scholarship.>
