Bücher der Reihe Rouledge Library Editions: Friedrich Nietzsche

Elucidates Nietzsche's educational views. This title shows how these views relate to the rest of Nietzsche's work, and to modern European and Anglo-Saxon philosophical concerns.

Before Marcuse and Laing, before Heidegger and Sartre, even before Freud, the way was prepared for the anarcho-psychological critique of economic man, of all codes of ideology or absolute morality, and of scientific habits of mind. This title traces this philosophical tradition to its roots in the nineteenth century.

Nietzsche's relationship with Wagner has long been a source of controversy and has given rise to a number of important studies. This work contends that the nature and extent of the anti-Wagnerian pastiche and polemic in "Thus Spake Zarathustra" is arguably the most important factor in the association between the two.
