Description and Table of Contents
Description
Heidegger wanted to take Nietzsche seriously as a thinker. But as a thinker or philosopher Nietzsche can be accused of inconsistency. Even his main objective - the transvaluation all values - may make no sense. This author wants to view Nietzsche as a poet. He opposes the universality of abstract truth to the poetic truth which is the incarnation of the absolute in the concrete and valid only as meaning in a particular context. A large part of the book is devoted to the application of this theory, hence the book is both a hermeneutic study and a practical guide for the interpretation of Nietzsche's controversial topics such as the Death of God, marriage, life and death, or - woman and the Superman (Uebermensch). Part Three deals with Hermeneutics and Metaphysics, then with Heidegger, Nietzsche and Metaphysics.
