- Summary:
-
"Nietzsche and the Necessity of Freedom addresses a central question of modern philosophy and contemporary life that is usually overlooked in discussions of Friedrich Nietzsche. Radical and analytic-linguistic approaches, including variants of Martin Heidegger's philosophical legacy, emphasize salient motifs in Nietzsche's work while largely failing to examine freedom as an overarching philosophical concern. John Mandalios argues that Nietzsche's critique of Western metaphysics and free-will thinking does not preclude him from positing a different form of freedom that reflects influences from German idealism, Greek tragic values, and the Enlightenment's scientific images of the seeker of knowledge while embodying a different notion of responsibility." "This book is appropriate for upper-level students and scholars of philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
