Andrew Huddleston

Nietzsche on the Decadence and Flourishing of Culture

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Andrew Huddleston presents a striking challenge to the standard view of Nietzsche as the champion of the great individual, and preoccupied with his own quasi-artistic self-cultivation. Huddleston focuses on Nietzsche's idea of a flourishing culture to bring out the deep social and collectivist character of his thought.
