Nietzsche and Race de Marc de Launay

Nietzsche and Race

Autor Marc de Launay Traducere de Sylvia Gorelick
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 mai 2023
A definitive debunking of the “Nietzsche as Nazi” caricature.
 
The caricature of Friedrich Nietzsche as a proto-Nazi is still with us, having originated with his own Nazi sister, Elisabeth Förster, who curated Nietzsche’s disparate texts to suit her own purposes. In Nietzsche and Race, Marc de Launay deftly counters this persistent narrative in a series of concise and highly accessible reflections on the concept of race in Nietzsche’s publications, notebooks, and correspondence. Through a fresh reading of Nietzsche’s core philosophical project, de Launay articulates a new understanding of race in Nietzsche’s body of work free from the misunderstanding of his detractors.

Recenzii

“De Launay’s elegantly written book is an extremely valuable introduction to Nietzsche’s much misunderstood concept of ‘race.’ The book successfully debunks the idea that Nietzsche advanced a racist use of the term and instead foregrounds the complex historicity of the concept itself. A precise and thoughtful reader of the original texts, de Launay offers a philosophical interpretation that convincingly shows that Nietzsche’s use of the term ‘race’ should not be understood along biologistic lines.”

“Following in the vein of Karl Schlechta, de Launay turns to Nietzsche’s texts to dispel many of the misunderstandings of his ideas and thoughts. Centering the role of the Nietzsche Archive, de Launay historically contextualizes notorious efforts to associate Nietzsche’s works and words with Nazism and philologically traces Nietzsche’s enigmatic but decidedly non-nationalistic notion of race. In the end, de Launay rightly shifts the focus away from Nietzsche’s allusions to human heredity and toward his exaltation of the universal and indiscriminate possibility of human genius.”
