In this book, Nietzsche's concept of the agon or Wettkampf, a measured and productive form of conflict inspired by ancient Greek culture, is advanced as the dynamic and organising principle of his philosophical practice, enabling us to make sense of his critical confrontations and the much disputed concept of transvaluation or Umwertung. Agonal perspectives are cast on number of key problems in his thought across a broad range of texts. Topics and problems treated include: critical history and the need for a limit in the negation of the past; Nietzsche contra Socrates and the problem of closure; Nietzsche contra humanism and the problem of humanity; Nietzsche contra Kant on genius and legislation; the problem of self-legislation in relation to life and temporality; Nietzsche's sense of community in its articulation with law, and the normativity of taste; ressentiment and the question of therapy in Nietzsche and Freud; and the problem of total affirmation in relation to critique. These studies have a broad appeal, from MA level to advanced Nietzsche research. 410 0$aMonographien und Texte Zur Nietzsche-Forschung 606 $aPHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Modern$2bisacsh 610 $aNietzsche. 610 $aUmwertung. 610 $aagon. 610 $aconflict. 615 7$aPHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Modern. 700 $aSiemens$b Herman$f1963-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01089916 712 02$aThe Dutch Research Council (NWO)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996449437003316 996 $aAgonal Perspectives on Nietzsche's Philosophy of Critical Transvaluation$92929705 997 $aUNISA
