This book argues that the history of 19th-century German philosophy has neglected an important narrative: the philosophy of ‘Will’. It aims to reconsider the history of late modern philosophy in terms of the interconnected philosophies of ‘Will’ of several notable thinkers: Goethe, Schelling, Schopenhauer, Eduard von Hartmann, Philipp Mainländer, Julius Bahnsen, and Nietzsche.The book has four goals. First, it shows that philosophy of Will really was a tradition, whose members were each working to put forward their notion of Will in self-consciously critical dialogue with the other members. Second, it shows that the 19th-century conception of Will is fundamentally diff erent from the commonplace use of Will as a synonym for what propels intentional or motivated human agency. Each figure considers their specific formulation of Will to be in some sense the essence of reality. Will is dynamic growth in the natural world, expresses itself in artistic creativity, impresses on us our existential condition, is the lever of history, and is the wellspring from which moral values are drawn. Third, by focusing on these philosophers of Will, this book reveals a clearer interrelation between philosophy and the wider history of German intellectual culture than has typically been done. Will theory bears immediate connection to the day’s reigning issues in politics, art, psychology, historiography, and the natural sciences. Finally, it aims to reexamine these thinkers’ position in the history of philosophy. Some, like Goethe, have long been on the periphery of mainstream philosophy. Some, like Hartmann, Mainländer, and Bahnsen, have long been forgotten. And some, like Nietzsche, have been characterized as more a radical innovator and less a critical respondent to the tradition of Will philosophy.A complex yet lively contribution to the history of philosophical ideas, The Philosophy of Will is essential reading for scholars and graduate students interested in German systematic metaphysics and more broadly anyone interested in the intellectual history of late modern philosophy, science, epistemology, aesthetics, politics, and ethics.

Nietzsche, the so-called herald of the 'philosophy of the future', nevertheless dealt with the past on nearly every page of his writing. Not only was he concerned with how past values, cultural practices and institutions influence the present - he was plainly aware that any attempt to understand that influence encounters many meta-historical problems. This comprehensive and lucid exposition of the development of Nietzsche's philosophy of history explores how Nietzsche thought about history and historiography throughout his life and how it affected his most fundamental ideas. Discussion of the whole span of Nietzsche's writings, from his earliest publications as a classical philologist to his later genealogical and autobiographical projects, is interwoven with careful analysis of his own forms of writing history, the nineteenth-century paradigms which he critiqued, and the twentieth-century views which he anticipated. The book will be of much interest to scholars of Nietzsche and of nineteenth-century philosophy.

With his An Interpretation of Nietzsche’s "On the Uses and Disadvantage of History for Life", Anthony K. Jensen shows how 'timely' Nietzsche’s second "Untimely Meditation" really is. This comprehensive and insightful study contextualizes and analyzes a wide range of Nietzsche’s earlier thoughts about history: teleology, typology, psychology, memory, classical philology, Hegelianism, and the role historiography plays in modern culture. On the Uses and Disadvantage of History for Life is shown to be a ‘timely’ work, too, insofar as it weaves together a number of Nietzsche's most important influences and thematic directions at that time: ancient culture, science, epistemology, and the thought of Schopenhauer and Burckhardt. Rather than dismiss it as a mere ‘early’ work, Jensen shows how the text resonates in Nietzsche’s later perspectivism, his theory of subjectivity, and Eternal Recurrence. And by using careful philological analysis of the text’s composition history, Jensen is in position to fully elucidate and evaluate Nietzsche’s arguments in their proper contexts. As such Jensen’s Interpretation should restore Nietzsche’s second "Untimely Meditation" to a prominent place among 19th Century philosophies of history.

Typically, the first decade of Friedrich Nietzsche's career is considered a sort of précis to his mature thinking. Yet his philological articles, lectures, and notebooks on Ancient Greek culture and thought - much of which has received insufficient scholarly attention - were never intended to serve as a preparatory ground to future thought. Nietzsche's early scholarship was intended to express his insights into the character of antiquity. Many of those insights are not only important for better understanding Nietzsche; they remain vital for understanding antiquity today. Interdisciplinary in scope and international in perspective, this volume investigates Nietzsche as a scholar of antiquity, offering the first thorough examination of his articles, lectures, notebooks on Ancient Greek culture and thought in English. With eleven original chapters by some of the leading Nietzsche scholars and classicists from around the world and with reproductions of two definitive essays, this book analyzes Nietzsche's scholarly methods and aims, his understanding of antiquity, and his influence on the history of classical studies.

History and memory rank as central themes in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. As one of the last philosophers of the 19th century, Nietzsche naturally belongs to the so-called ‘historical century’. The contentious exchange with the past and with antiquity – as much as the mechanisms, the dangers, and the lessons of memory and tradition – are continually examined and stand in close relationship with Nietzsche’s vision of life and his project of human development. As Jacob Burckhardt once wrote of the cultural critique to his Basel colleague: "Fundamentally, you are always teaching history" (9/13/1882). Following Burckhardt’s judgment, the contributors focus on the analysis of core questions in the philosophies of history and memory, and their respective convergence in the thought of Nietzsche. The epistemological relevance of these central concepts will be thematized alongside those concerning tradition, and education. The discussion of these rich themes unifies a broad spectrum of questions, ranging from cultural memory to contemporary philosophy of mind. The contributions are revised versions of selected papers presented at the 2018 conference of the annual meeting of the Nietzsche Society in Naumburg.
