Product Description

Nietzsche continues to occupy a special place - not only for a broad range of academics but also for members of a wider public, who find some of their most pressing existential concerns addressed in his works. Central among these concerns is the question of the meaning of a life characterized by inescapable suffering, at a time when the traditional responses inspired by Christianity are increasingly losing their credibility. While most recent studies of Nietzsche's works have lost sight of this fundamental issue, Bernard Reginster brings it sharply into focus.

Review
"With lucid writing and a superb examination of his works, Reginster succeeds in presenting a coherent interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy." - Scott Duimstra, Library Journal "A well written and thoughtful book... Impressive and provocative... The argumentation is clear, persuasive, and innovative... The discussion of existing interpretations (those of Clark, Kaufmann, Lowith, Nehamas, and several others) is exemplary: it is careful and tranquil, thoughtful and engaging." - Nectarios G. Limnatis, Review of Metaphysics"

PL8 to The Affirmation
Wonderful, it's great to have a good book in English that isn't written by
Herr Kaufman on Nietzsche. Reginster is so hot.
