Beskrivning
Ryan Harvey and Aaron Ridley put Wagner centre-stage to show why he mattered so much to Nietzsche. Looking at both The Case of Wagner and Nietzsche Contra Wagner, they identify and define the trajectory of a number of overarching themes modernity, decadence and Wagner as the sign of decline within Nietzsche's work as a whole and then demonstrate how they crystallise into Nietzsche's final and most substantial discussion of Wagner in The Case of Wagner.Assuming no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or the texts, they offer a chapter-by-chapter interpretation of The Case of Wagner addressing especially why Wagner is a 'case' for Nietzsche.

Recensioner i media

A compelling examination of the philosophical stakes of Nietzsche’s lifelong fascination with Wagner, from his early idea of a music-making Socrates, to his worries about the health of culture, through to his late concerns with vitalism and decadence. Harvey and Ridley give us Nietzsche’s most bombastic book, contextualized and illuminated.
