About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The words 'grounding', 'rhetoric', and 'earth' represent the book's tripartite structure. Using a philological method Del Caro reveals the 'ecological' Nietzsche whose doctrines are strategies for responsible and creative partnership between humans and earth. The major doctrines are shown to be related to early writings linked to paganism, the quotidian, and the closest things of Human, All Too Human. Perspective is shifted from time to place in the eternal recurrence of the same, and from power to empowerment in the will to power. This book is the first to comprehensively address the issue of where Nietzsche stands in relation to environment, and it will contribute to the 'greening' of Nietzsche.; Die drei Begriffe 'grounding', 'rhetoric' und 'earth' spiegeln die dreiteilige Struktur des Buches wider. Mit philologischen Methoden zeigt Del Caro einen 'ökologischen' Nietzsche, dessen Lehren Strategien für eine verantwortungsvolle und kreative Partnerschaft zwischen Menschen und Erde darstellen. Er weist nach, dass die wichtigsten Lehren in organischer Beziehung zu frühen Schriften stehen, die sich mit Paganismus beschäftigen, mit Alltäglichem und mit den ersten und letzten Dingen in Menschliches, Allzumenschliches. Dabei verschiebt sich die Perspektive von der Zeit zum Raum in der ewigen Wiederkehr des Gleichen, und von der Macht zur Ermächtigung im Willen zur Macht.

Synopsis

The words 'grounding', 'rhetoric', and 'earth' represent the book's tripartite structure. Using a philological method Del Caro reveals the 'ecological' Nietzsche whose doctrines are strategies for responsible and creative partnership between humans and earth. The major doctrines are shown to be related to early writings linked to paganism, the quotidian, and the closest things of Human, All Too Human. Perspective is shifted from time to place in the eternal recurrence of the same, and from power to empowerment in the will to power. This book is the first to comprehensively address the issue of where Nietzsche stands in relation to environment, and it will contribute to the 'greening' of Nietzsche.
