Product Description
Book Description
Pierre Klossowski (1905-) is the author of numerous philosophical works, as well as several novels. He published many translations of German poets and philosophers, including Nietzsche himself.
Recognised as a masterpiece of Nietzsche scholarship, Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle emphasises and explores the notion of Eternal Return - central to an understanding of Nietzsche's self-denial, self-refutation and self-consumption.
Translated by Daniel W. Smith
From the Back Cover
'A profound Commentary on Nietzsche.' Gilles Deleuze
Nietzsche & the Vicious Circle examines the relation between Nietzsche's thought and life, emphasizing the centrality of the notion of the Eternal Return (of the cycles of time and history) for understanding Nietzsche's propensities for self-denial, self-refutation and self-consumption.
Klossowski argues that Nietzsche's ideas did not stem from personal pathology; rather, Nietzsche made a pathological use of his best ideas, anchoring them in his own fluctuating bodily and mental conditions. Thus, Nietzsche's belief that questions of truth and morality are at base questions of power and fitness resonates dynamically and intellectually with his alternating lucidity and delirium.
Pierre Klossowski is the author of numerous works of philosophy and several novels. He has also published many translations of German poets and philosophers, including the works of Nietzsche.
Daniel W. Smith, the translator of this volume, is Professor of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales, Australia.
