Nietzsche's Rhetoric

Meer over het boek

Exploring Nietzsche's rhetorical devices, this book analyzes how they limit rather than enhance reader interpretation. Through detailed examinations of both early and later works, it reveals how Nietzsche's rhetorical strategies may undermine his philosophical assertions. The case studies also confront uncomfortable elements of his thought, including racial stereotyping and a hierarchical view of humanity based on subjective notions of nobility and ignobility. This critical approach sheds light on the complexities and contradictions within Nietzsche's philosophy.
