Author: Paris Lettau, Vincent Le (eds)
In this book of essays, leading scholars dive into Nietzsche’s early vision, following the tangled paths of his influence: the poets he scorned, the radicals who claimed him, the scholars who tried to pin him down. From Australian modernism to French poststructuralism, from political battlegrounds to shifting tensions between art and philosophy, this book captures Nietzsche’s restless afterlife – revealing how, more than 150 years after his first book, Nietzsche’s thought still unsettles.For some, Nietzsche is the prophet of hierarchy and heroism, a rallying cry against the modern herd. For others, he is the forefather of AI-driven transcendence, an oracle of post-human futures. His thought has been twisted, worshipped, and weaponised across generations – from avant-garde artists to political extremists, from revolutionary philosophers to Silicon Valley disruptors.
