- Summary:
-
"Dale Wilkerson's book shows how, like many of his contemporaries, Nietzsche looked to the Greeks in an attempt to alleviate Europe's woes. His work in this area resembles that of the cultural anthropologist who uncovers formal differences in social manners that might explain the development of humankind's most important instincts - those for carving out personal identity and for forging social unity. Nietzsche argues that recognizing such formal differences is what makes cultural evaluations and even normative judgements possible."--BOOK JACKET.
