Nietzsche and the politics of aristocratic radicalism

More about the book

There is no thinker more relevant to the thought of the last century than Friedrich Nietzsche; nor any more troubling. In this book, Detwiler offers a balanced yet unstinting examination of the political dimension of Nietzsche's thought. He addresses Nietzsche's profoundly illiberal and aristocratic ideas without apology, but does not denigrate the magnitude of this important philosopher's overall intellectual achievement.
