About this book

Nietzsche’s legacy for political thought is a highly contested area of research today. With papers representing a broad range of positions, this collection takes stock of the central controversies (Nietzsche as political / anti-political thinker? Nietzsche and / contra democracy? Arendt and / contra Nietzsche?), as well as new research on key concepts (power, the agon, aristocracy, friendship i.a.), on historical, contemporary and futural aspects of Nietzsche’s political thought. International contributors include well-known names (Conway, Ansell-Pearson, Hatab, Taureck, Patton, Connolly, Villa, van Tongeren) and young emerging scholars from various disciplines.

Reviews

"Das selbstgesetzte Ziel des Bandes, einen neuen Ausgangspunkt für die Beschäftigung mit Nietzsche im 21. Jahrhundert zu bieten, wird er schon angesichts seines schieren Umfangs, aber mehr noch aufgrund seiner anregenden Vielfalt erfüllen."
