This work takes a historical approach to Nietzsche's work on language, connecting it to his predecessors and contemporaries rather than his successors. Though Nietzsche invited identification with Zarathustra, the solitary wanderer ahead of his time, for most of his career he directly engaged the intellectual currents and scientific debates of his time.Emden situates Nietzsche's writings on language and rhetoric within their wider historical context. He demonstrates that Nietzsche is not as radical in his thinking as has been often supposed, and that a number of problems with Nietzsche disappear when Nietzsche's works are compared to works on the same subjects by writers of the 18th and 19th centuries. Further, the relevance of rhetoric and the history of rhetoric to philosophy and the history of philosophy is reasserted, in consonance with Nietzsche's own statements and practices. Important in this regard are the role of fictions, descriptions, and metaphor. 410 0$aInternational Nietzsche Studies 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aConsciousness 606 $aHuman body (Philosophy) 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy$xHistory 615 0$aConsciousness. 615 0$aHuman body (Philosophy) 676 $a193 700 $aEmden$b Christian$01814225 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974087503321 996 $aNietzsche on language, consciousness, and the body$94367923 997 $aUNINA
