Loyalty From a Confucian Perspective
Aesthetics in Identity Politics: Cumulative Aesthetics, Emplotment, and Empathy
Contemporary identity politics, politics based on affiliation with a particular societal group in contradistinction from one or more others, typically becomes galvanized in response to a sense that those so affiliated have been marginalized or harmed. Art and aesthetic gestures utilized in contexts of identity politics serve a number of roles, among them drawing attention to the marginalization or harm to specific groups, consolidating those who …
Love and Literature
Drawing on Ronald de Sousa’s account of emotional learning through paradigm scenarios, this article argues that literature is an important means through which we develop our conception of romantic love. Milan Kundera’s novel The Unbearable Lightness of Being serves as an example of a literary work that helps to shape our understanding of this kind of love. The narrator offers theoretical observations about love and its preconditions, but the nove…
Living with Solomon Living with Nietzsche: A Reply to Tubert and Soll
In Living with Nietzsche, Robert C. Solomon defends the view that Nietzsche is an existentialist avant la lettre, a view that I defend. I concur with Ariela Tubert that her case that Nietzsche is a skeptic about metaphysical freedom supports Solomon's position, even if he did not necessarily see Nietzsche as holding a skeptical view. I counter Ivan Soll's arguments against Solomon's view that Nietzsche was mainly interested in promoting the life …

Nietzsche's Zarathustra
Nietzsche's Zarathustra takes an interdisciplinary approach to Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra , focusing on the philosophical function of its literary techniques and its fictional mode of presentation. It argues that the fictional format is essential to Nietzsche's philosophical message in his work. Part of that message is Nietzsche's alternative to the Western worldview as developed by Plato's dialogues and the Christian Gospel, which he pre…

Comic Relief: Nietzsche’s Gay Science
This book offers a lively and unorthodox analysis of Nietzsche by examining a neglected aspect of his scholarly personality—his sense of humour. While often thought of as ponderous and melancholy, the Nietzsche of Higgins’s study is a surprisingly subtle and light-hearted writer. She presents a close reading of The Gay Science to show how the numerous literary risks that Nietzsche takes reveal humour to be central to his project. Higgins argues t…
What Nietzsche Really Said (What They Really Said Series)
What Nietzsche Really Said gives us a lucid overview - both informative and entertaining - of perhaps the most widely read and least understood philosopher in history." "In this analysis, Nietzsche scholars Robert C. Solomon and Kathleen M. Higgins get to the heart of Nietzsche's philosophy, from his ideas on "the will to power" to his attack on religion and morality and his infamous Ubermensch (superman)."--BOOK JACKET
The Cambridge Companion to Nietzsche
Nietzsche's works and their themes
Interpretation of Nietzsche's thought is a complex enterprise. Because of his avoidance of any conventional philosophical system and his many experiments with styles and genres, Nietzsche's writings seem to demand a sense of active reading. The “Nietzsche” that emerges from scholarly discussion typically depends on the interests of the interpreter and especially often those of the interpreter's discipline. Themes which are taken to be most centra…
Gender in The Gay Science
Gender in The Gay Science Kathleen Marie Higgins In his recent novel, When Nietzsche Wept, Irwin Yalom reiterates a common portrait of Nietzsche: a sexist über alles. Much as the quip “Isn’t business ethics a contradiction in terms?” ubiquitously accosts philosophers involved in that subdiscipline, “What’s a nice girl like you doing studying a misogynist like that?” has haunted my career in Nietzsche scholarship. I have never been entirely certai…

Reading Zarathustra
Thus Spoke Zarathustra was recommended to me when I was a high school senior, and I asked a fellow teenager who was reading it what the book was like. “Nietzsche’s kind of like a perverted Kahlil Gibran,” she told me. And when I perused the book for myself, I saw what she meant. Zarathustra was a prophet, and his sermons, although filled with blasphemous precepts, were pretentiously biblical in tone. I was annoyed even before I finished the prolo…
