{"product_id":"nietzsche-the-aristocratic-rebel-domenico-losurdo-9781642593402","title":"Nietzsche, the Aristocratic Rebel: Intellectual Biography and Critical Balance-Sheet","description":"\u003cp\u003ePerhaps no philosopher is more of a conundrum than Nietzsche, the solitary rebel, poet, wayfarer, anti-revolutionary Aufkl rer and theorist of aristocratic radicalism. His accusers identify in his 'superman' the origins of Nazism, and thus issue an irrevocable condemnation; his defenders pursue a hermeneutics of innocence founded ultimately in allegory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a work widely regarded as the most important contribution to Nietzschean studies in recent decades, Domenico Losurdo instead pursues a less reductive strategy. Taking literally the ruthless implications of Nietzsche's anti-democratic thinking--his celebration of slavery, of war and colonial expansion, and eugenics--he nevertheless refuses to treat these from the perspective of the mid-twentieth century. In doing so, he restores Nietzsche's works to their complex nineteenth-century context, and presents a more compelling account of the importance of Nietzsche as philosopher than can be expected from his many contemporary apologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in Italian by Bollati Boringhieri Editore as Domenico Losurdo, Nietzsche, il ribelle aristocratico: Biografia intellettuale e bilancio critico, Turin, 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Domenico Losurdo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1642593400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781642593402\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Haymarket Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 2.11d","brand":"Domenico Losurdo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048872997119,"sku":"9781642593402","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24c5f5e3-abc2-46c9-bc34-d50800ef4065.jpg?v=1684998316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nietzsche-the-aristocratic-rebel-domenico-losurdo-9781642593402","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
