Nietzsche on Women and the Eternal-Feminine: A Critique of Truth and Values

Editat de Michael J. McNeal
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 aug 2023
By re-examining Nietzsche's notion of the "eternal-feminine" and his views on women and feminism, this volume offers new perspectives on some of his key ideas. It brings together a diverse group of scholars to critically engage with Nietzsche's use of late-19th-century gender stereotypes and the ways in which they served his critique of values, including his use of "woman" as a trope for truth. Among other subjects, the contributors consider the role of psychology in Nietzsche's thought, his concern with style, self-creation, and advocacy of perfectionism, his views on romantic love and marriage, and his aim of revaluing all values to instigate a distant philosophy of the future. They investigate parallels between Nietzsche's thought and Shaktism, his relation to Goethe and Stendahl, and his influence on Beauvoir, Butler, and Dohm. With the inclusion of two seminal essays on Nietzsche and women by Lawrence J. Hatab and Kelly Oliver, the volume also illustrates some of the ways in which scholarship on these subjects has evolved over the last four decades. Providing fresh insights into these inter-related subjects, Nietzsche on Women and the Eternal-Feminine highlights the enduring relevance of his thought and its still-underappreciated potential for re-thinking both the bases for and aims of feminism and other emancipatory movements.

Recenzii

Like Goethe's expression 'the Eternal-Feminine', Nietzsche's status as a feminist thinker has been perceived as regressive and progressive alike. Michael J. McNeal brings together a thought-provoking set of essays that interrogate the role of the feminine in Nietzsche's thought in a way that directly addresses our contemporary debate about gender and identity.
However controversial Nietzsche's views on the 'feminine' might be, few can deny his importance in identifying sexual difference as a philosophical issue. In this wide-ranging, highly stimulating collection of essays, the importance of Nietzsche as a thinker of the feminine is newly foregrounded and newly invigorated for our times.
