Moreover, it highlights the importance of reading Nietzsche politically, in a radical way, to understand his utility for the contemporary anarchist movement. \u003cbr\u003e The review of the literature concerning the Nietzsche-anarchy relationship shows the previously limited bibliography and stresses the possibility of exploring this connection, with the methodological help of Michael L wy's concept of \"elective affinity\". The significance of this finding is that the relevant affinity may contribute to an alternative, to the dominant, perception of anarchism as an ideology. It may also designate its special features together with its weaknesses, meaning the objections of Nietzsche to certain aspects of the anarchist practices and worldview (violence, resentment, bad conscience), thus opening a whole new road of self-criticism for the anarchists of the twenty first century. In addition, the location and analysis of the elective affinity serves the debunking of the Nietzschean concepts used by conservative and right-wing readings in order to appropriate Nietzsche, and of the accusations that the German philosopher had unleashed against anarchists, which reveals his misunderstanding of anarchist politics.\u003cbr\u003e The final part of this book applies the whole analysis above on a Nietzschean reading of the December '08 revolt in Athens based on the \"Of the Three Metamorphoses\" discourse from Thus Spoke Zarathustra, offering an alternative view of the events that shook Greece and also had an important global impact.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christos Iliopoulos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1622737792\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781622737796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vernon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.47d","brand":"Christos Iliopoulos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984681402623,"sku":"9781622737796","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_edcf9ea3-f84e-49a1-bd71-05cb012ad96b.jpg?v=1683273650","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nietzsche-anarchism-christos-iliopoulos-9781622737796","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
