The republic of genius

More about the book

In the course of reconstructing the salient aspects of Nietzsche's thought in these areas (including many hitherto neglected or ignored), Taylor develops the thesis that the early Nietzsche tacitly constructed an eclectic theory of value based on the ancient Greeks, Nature, and the "German Spirit." The result is an impressive work of synthesis which reads as a cogent statement of Nietzsche's early philosophy in its social-cultural-political aspect. As such, Dr. Taylor's study fills a sizeable gap in the literature on Nietzsche and represents a seminal contribution to a more balanced and accurate understanding of his philosophy.
