Nietzsche’s Search for Philosophy: On the Middle Writings

Autor Professor Keith Ansell Pearson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 feb 2018
In Nietzsche's Search for Philosophy: On the Middle Writings Keith Ansell-Pearson makes a novel and thought-provoking contribution to our appreciation of Nietzsche's neglected middle writings. These are the texts Human, all too Human (1878-80), Dawn (1881), and The Gay Science (1882). There is a truth in the observation of Havelock Ellis that the works Nietzsche produced between 1878 and 1882 represent the maturity of his genius. In this study he explores key aspects of Nietzsche's philosophical activity in his middle writings, including his conceptions of philosophy, his commitment to various enlightenments, his critique of fanaticism, his search for the heroic-idyllic, his philosophy of modesty and his conception of ethics, and his search for joy and happiness. The book will appeal to readers across philosophy and the humanities, especially to those with an interest in Nietzsche and anyone who has a concern with the fate of philosophy in the modern world.

Recenzii

Ansell-Pearson describes the unique characteristics of Nietzsche's middle period with great learning and illuminating subtle expositions of key texts.
Ansell-Pearson's readings of texts central to Nietzsche's ethical thinking are among the most valuable parts of the book ... one that will intrigue and enlighten its readers.
Both a philosophically valuable and enjoyable read ... This book is recommended to every scholar interested in working with the middle works, as well as to scholars interested in a systematic study of Nietzsche's references to and employment of the Stoic and Epicurean traditions.
What is perhaps most valuable about Ansell-Pearson's latest book on Nietzsche, however, is that it squarely focuses on matters that, though they are only now beginning to receive the attention they deserve in Anglophone commentarial circles, are of tremendous importance for the study of Nietzsche ... Ansell-Pearson's book provides generous resources for the still untimely self-overcoming of the genre in which it is nested.
The core argument of Nietzsche's Search for Philosophy-that we should not ignore the middle period-is impossible to disagree with. Ansell-Pearson's discussion of the works in question describe a thrilling series that readers will likely find themselves inclined to consult directly.
Keith Ansell-Pearson illuminates, with subtlety and care, neglected 'middle period' writings of Nietzsche, such as Dawn, showing how he reinvents philosophy as experiments in living and, above all, as fostering a new joy of the spirit. A fascinating and mature book from a sensitive thinker.
In this series of beautifully crafted, accessible and informative essays on Human, All Too Human, Dawn and The Gay Science, Ansell-Pearson rediscovers a philosophical persona not usually associated with the name of Nietzsche: Epicurean, pro-Enlightenment, anti-fanatical, dedicated to the passion for knowledge and to the cultivation of humanity by means of a calm and modest cultivation of the self. These essays make a compelling case for the richness and importance of the middle period works and call for a re-evaluation of what we take to be 'Nietzsche's philosophy.
