Synopsis

Heilke (political science, U. of Kansas) approaches Nietzsche's wider thought by exploring both the political education he received and the course of such education he recommends as an antidote to the crisis in Western European culture. He examines the German philosopher's formulation of the crisis, especially his conceptions of romantic pessimism, Socratism, and Christianity, and his assertion that only a properly ordered education could inspire people to transform a society whose fundamental cultural and political premises they reject.
