Beskrivning
Perhaps no philosopher is more of a conundrum than Nietzsche, the solitary rebel, poet, wayfarer, anti-revolutionary Aufklärer and theorist of aristocratic radicalism. His accusers identify in his 'superman' the origins of Nazism, and thus issue an irrevocable condemnation; his defenders pursue a hermeneutics of innocence founded ultimately in allegory.In a work widely regarded as the most important contribution to Nietzschean studies in recent decades, Domenico Losurdo instead pursues a less reductive strategy. Taking literally the ruthless implications of Nietzsche's anti-democratic thinking—his celebration of slavery, of war and colonial expansion, and eugenics—he nevertheless refuses to treat these from the perspective of the mid-twentieth century. In doing so, he restores Nietzsche's works to their complex nineteenth-century context, and presents a more compelling account of the importance of Nietzsche as philosopher than can be expected from his many contemporary apologists.Originally published in Italian by Bollati Boringhieri Editore as Domenico Losurdo, Nietzsche, il ribelle aristocratico: Biografia intellettuale e bilancio critico, Turin, 2002.

Recensioner i media

"The culmination of many years’ worth of scholarship, Domenico Losurdo’s [...] Nietzsche, the Aristocratic Rebel is a behemoth undertaking [and a] welcome addition to the English corpus of Nietzsche scholarship."—Jacob Vangeest, Cosmos and History: The Journal of Natural and Social Philosophy“This Nietzsche is naturally one who is far less friendly and deeply more disturbing than the joyful dancer many of us like to imagine […] Losurdo makes a devastating case that he was closer to the real deal, and it is time for us to get over it.” —Matt McManus, Merion West“Losurdo continues to remind us that to extract or ignore these unpalatable aspects of Nietzsche’s writings or his influence on the political right, would not actually ‘save’ Nietzsche, nor would it provide a more consistent method for understanding him.”—Rory Jeffs, Marx & Philosophy Review
