Nietzsche’s Legacy

In the two companion works, Nietzsche demands a ‘re-evaluation of all values’ in order to render life the highest form of affirmation; at the same time, the books that complete his oeuvre are on the side of a decided negation. On the one hand, the books offer the most radical philosophical critique of Christianity ever written, with the author as the self-styled revolutionary who shatters human history for a new beginning. On the other hand, the books’ principal focus is on the nature of the philosopher. How yes and no, nature and politics go together in Nietzsche’s Janus-faced philosophy is the subject of Heinrich Meier’s long-awaited work. In his analysis, readers will find a fresh approach to Nietzsche’s work overall.
