Nietzsche has often been considered a thinker independent of the philosophy of his time and radically opposed to the concerns and concepts of modern and contemporary philosophy. But there is an increasing awareness of his sophisticated engagements with his contemporaries and of his philosophy''s rich potential for debates with modern and contemporary thinkers. Nietzsche''s Engagements with Kant and the Kantian Legacy explores a significant field for such engagements, Kant and Kantianism. Bringing together an international team of established Nietzsche-scholars who have done extensive work in Kant, contributors include both senior scholars and young, upcoming researchers from a broad range of countries and traditions. Working from the basis that Nietzsche is better understood as thinking ''with and against'' Kant and the Kantian legacy, they examine Nietzsche''s explicit and implicit treatments of Kant, Kantians, and Kantian concepts, as well as the philosophical issues that they raise for both Nietzschean and Kantian philosophy. Divided into three volumes, the focus is on specific areas and texts of Kant''s philosophy: Nietzsche, Kant and the Problem of Metaphysics; Nietzsche and Kantian Ethics; Nietzsche and Kant on Aesthetics and Anthropology . Each volume draws extensively on the flourishing recent literature from both analytic and continental traditions in English, German and other languages. By responding to scholarly interest in the critical relations between Nietzsche and Kant, this series of volumes presents the first systematic study of the pairing of two major European thinkers from the modern period.

The Monographien und Texte zur Nietzsche-Forschung (MTNF) presents outstanding monographic interpretations by scholars, active in various academic fields, of Nietzsche’s work as a whole or of specific themes and aspects. These works are written mostly from a philosophical, literary, communication science, sociological or historical perspective. The publications reflect the current state of research on Nietzsche’s philosophy, on his sources, on his relationship with his predecessors and contemporaries and on the influence of his writings. The volumes are peer-reviewed.

Wissenschaft ist eine der wichtigsten und einflussreichsten Eigentümlichkeiten der modernen Kultur. Nietzsches Philosophie zählt zu den bemerkenswertesten intellektuellen Auseinandersetzungen mit dieser modernen Kultur. Dabei hat er auch auf den Geltungscharak-ter und die Wirkung von Wissenschaft besonderes Augenmerk gerichtet. Dieser Band bringt erstmals Nietzsche-Forscher und Wissenschaftstheoretiker aus aller Welt zusammen, um Nietzsches Wissenschaftsphilosophie in umfassendem Zusammenhang anhand von vier thematischen Feldern zu behandeln. 1. Aktualität: Was trägt Nietzsche zu einem gegenwärti-gen Verständnis der Wissenschaften bei? 2. Rezeption: Welche Wirkung entfaltete Nietzsche in der Philosophie der Natur-, Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts? 3. Inhalt: Worin bestehen die zentralen Überlegungen Nietzsches zum ''Problem der Wissenschaft''? 4. Kontext: Welche Rolle spielen Nietzsches Lektüren und seine Auseinandersetzung mit den Wissenschaften seiner Zeit? Mit Beiträgen von Günter Abel, Babette Babich, Ronald Giere, Richard Schacht, Paul van Tongeren und vielen mehr.

Nietzsche’s thinking is unparalleled in its contradictory effects and it continues to be relevant. Even today, opinions on him diverge strongly. Through the 20th century, philosophies, art movements and political ideologies have oscillated between euphoria and condemnation, affirmation and an ignoring silence. Incorrect and abusive readings in fascist and Stalinist circles perverted his ideas and utopias. After 1945, historically and critically informed approaches in philosophy, the arts and the media provided initiallycautious insights into the diversity of the interpretations of his thinking; this field of activity intensified towards the end of the century. In the main currents of philosophy, ethics and esthetics and in the modern and postmodern theories of art, Nietzsche’s thinking has provided major impulses. Scientific and sociological interest in his provocative theories shows that his thinking continues to indicate possible paths forward. Literary and musical adaptations, his significance for visual artists from expressionism to the New Objectivity, his influence on the designs of modern architecture: from the perspective of current international Nietzsche research, all these factors provide a comprehensive overview of one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th century.

Nietzsches Denken ist in seiner Wirkung beispiellos widersprüchlich und fortgesetzt aktuell. An ihm scheiden sich bis heute die Geister. Philosophien, Kunstströmungen und politische Ideologien schwankten im 20. Jahrhundert zwischen Euphorie oder Verdammung, Affirmation oder Totschweigen. Missbräuchliche Lektüre hat unter faschistischem und stalinistischem Vorzeichen seine Ideen und Utopien pervertiert. Nach 1945 geben historisch-kritisch fundierte Auseinandersetzungen in Philosophie, Künsten und Medien zunächst vorsichtig, zum Ende des Jahrhunderts verstärkt Einblicke in die Vielfältigkeit der Deutungen seines Denkens. In den Hauptströmungen von Philosophie, Ethik und Ästhetik und in den Kunsttheorien der Moderne und Postmoderne ist Nietzsches Denken impulsgebend. Naturwissenschaftliche und soziologische Interessen an seinen provozierenden Thesen zeigen die Unabgegoltenheit seines Denkens. Literarische und musikalische Adaptionen, seine Bedeutung für bildende Künstler vom Expressionismus bis zur Neuen Sachlichkeit, sein Einfluss auf die Entwürfe der modernen Architektur geben aus der Sicht gegenwärtiger internationaler Nietzsche-Forschung einen umfassenden Überblick über einen der einflussreichsten Denker auf das 20. Jahrhundert.

Wittgenstein beansprucht für sich eine neue Betrachtungsweise: Er will seinen „Standpunkt weit draußen einnehmen“ und philosophische Probleme mit ethnologischem Blick sehen. Ist seine scharfe Auseinandersetzung mit James Frazers anthropologischem Hauptwerk, The Golden Bough. A Study in Magic and Religion, eine frühe Einübung in diese „ethnologische Betrachtungsweise“? Sprache und Kultur geht dieser Frage nach. Kulturdifferenz und -wandel, die im Tractatus noch gleichsam unter der Schwelle philosophischer Aufmerksamkeit liegen, rücken hier allmählich in den Mittelpunkt. Wittgensteins breite kulturphilosophische Beschäftigung gilt Ethnologen wie Frazer und Malinowski, aber auch so unterschiedlichen Gestalten wie etwa Spengler, Sraffa, Renan, Ogden und Richards, Paul Ernst, Goethe und vielen anderen. Diese bisher umfassendste Studie zum Thema berücksichtigt Wittgensteins Gesamtnachlass und unveröffentlichtes Material: Ohne die problematischen Aspekte zu übersehen, zeigt sie, dass Wittgensteins Denken nicht nur sprachphilosophisch relevant ist, sondern auch und gerade kulturphilosophische Horizonte eröffnet.

Nietzsche says "good Europeans" must not only cultivate a "supra-national" view, but also "supra-European" perspective to transcend their European biases and see beyond the horizon of Western culture. The volume takes up such conceptual frontier crossings and syntheses. Emphasizing Nietzsche's genealogy of European culture and his reflections upon the constitution of Europe in the broadest sense, its essays examine peoples and nations, values and arts, knowledge and religion. Nietzsche's apprehensions about the crises of nihilism and decadence and their implications for Europe's (and humankind’s) future are investigated in this context. Concerning the crossing of notional frontiers, contributors examine Nietzsche’s hoped-for dismantling of Europe’s state borders, the overcoming of national prejudices and rivalries, and the propagation of a revitalizing "supra-European" perspective on the continent, its culture(s) and future. They also illuminate lines of syntheses, notably the syncretism of the ancient Greeks and its possible example for the European culture to-be. Finally certain of Europe's current problems are considered via the critical apparatus furnished by Nietzsche's philosophy and the diagnostic tools it provides.
