Description

How to Read Nietzsche offers a personal master class in reading major intellectuals and philosophers. Keith Ansell-Pearson guides you through the work of influential writers, explaining essential topics such as Nietzsche's thinking on beauty, truth, and memory.

Nietzsche's philosophy revolves around a new concept of humanity, one that has come to terms with the death of God and practices living well without metaphysical certainties or moral absolutes. Ansell-Pearson introduces you to Nietzsche's distinctive style and thought, illuminating key ideas such as eternal recurrence and the superman through close readings of his aphorisms.

Extracts are taken from a range of Nietzsche's work, including Human, All Too Human; The Gay Science; Thus Spoke Zarathustra; and On the Genealogy of Morality. This book brings to light the challenging nature of Nietzsche's thinking on key topics, making it an ideal introduction to his philosophy.
