Reading Nietzsche Through the Ancients
For some years, Matthew Meyer has labored at a comprehensive interpretation of Nietzsche's oeuvre that understands his philosophical and literary output as a revival of a particularly (and particular) Greek mode of thought. This volume represents the culmination of much, but not all, of this previous work, and it serves also as a promise of future work in the same vein. The title, Reading Nietzsche Through the Ancients, is therefore a trifle misl…
Prescribing Positivism
As a classical philologist, Nietzsche was extremely familiar with the work of many ancient Greek writers. It is well known that Nietzsche made a practice of identifying with and praising ancient thinkers with whom he felt a kinship. It is worth investigating, then, whether Nietzsche's mention of Hippocrates in D signals a sustained interest in the so-called father of medicine. I argue that there is no evidence that Nietzsche paid special attentio…
Hippocrates, On the Art of Medicine
On the art of medicine, or de Arte, embodies as perhaps no other ancient text the full flower of the sophistic movement of the fifth century BCE. It is a rhetorical epideixis in which forensic oratory, philosophy, and medicine are woven into an ambitious display of sophistic polymathy. Unlike much previous scholarship, however, this book does not dismiss de Arte as "merely" rhetorical. Its analysis of the author's philosophical and medical views …
Causation, Agency, and the Law
Antiphon is often criticized for confusing two distinct species of responsibility, causal and moral. Insofar as this distinction is fundamental to any mature legal or ethical theory, Antiphon appears at best naïve, at worst dishonest. I argue that a careful analysis of his second tetralogy reveals that Antiphon was well aware of the distinction and the rationale for recognizing it. However, Antiphon questions whether the distinction can be so eas…
A Model Sophist
While many commentators have remarked on Nietzsche's admiration for the Greek historian Thucydides, most reduce the affinity between the two thinkers to their common commitments to “political realism” or “scientific naturalism.” At the same time, some of these same commentators have sought to minimize or dismiss Nietzsche's enthusiasm for the Greek sophists. We do not deny the importance of realism or naturalism, but we suggest that, for Nietzsch…
Nietzsche and the Greeks
Nietzsche’s Interest and Enthusiasm for the Greek Sophists
Nietzsche, Music and the Artistic Socrates
The relationship between Friedrich Nietzsche and Richard Wagner has become an industry in itself (cf. Hollinrake, Nietzsche... ; Kohler). From the perspective of a Nietzsche-scholar, the friendship cannot be ignored, since it gives valuable insight into the formative years of the young professor and the evolution of his thought, illuminating nearly every step of the way along Nietzsche's path from classical philologist to philosopher. Inquiry int…
