{"product_id":"why-we-are-not-nietzscheans-luc-ferry-9780226244815","title":"Why We Are Not Nietzscheans","description":"\"To think with Nietzsche against Nietzsche.\" Thus the editors describe the strategy adopted in this volume to soften the destructive effects of Nietzsche's \"philosophy with a hammer\" on French philosophy since the 1960s. Frustrated by the infinite inclusiveness of deconstructionism, the contributors to this volume seek to renew the Enlightenment quest for rationality. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough linked by no common dogma, these essays all argue that the \"French Nietzsche\" transmitted through the deconstructionists must be reexamined in light of the original context in which Nietzsche worked. Each essay questions the viability of Nietzsche's thought in the modern world, variously critiquing his philosophy of history as obsessed with hierarchy, his views on religion and art as myopic and irrational, and his stance on science as hopelessly reactionary. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContending that we must abandon the Nietzsche propped up as patron saint by French deconstructionists in order to return to reason, these essays will stimulate debate not just among Nietzscheans but among all with a stake in modern French philosophy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors are Alain Boyer, André Compte-Sponville, Vincent Descombes, Luc Ferry, Robert Legros, Philippe Raynaud, Alain Renault, and Pierre-André Taguieff. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luc Ferry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226244814\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226244815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.14w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/1997 pg. 97","brand":"Luc Ferry","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946337698047,"sku":"9780226244815","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f533c79b-66ce-476a-8527-ded0487751a1.jpg?v=1681512588","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-we-are-not-nietzscheans-luc-ferry-9780226244815","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
