- Summary:
- "Infectious Nietzsche is simply one of the most interesting andengaging works to appear on Nietzsche's philosophy in years." --David Allison -- Krell explores health, illness, and creativity inthe life and thought of Friedrich Nietzsche. Drawing on a varied literature ofphilosophical reflections on health, and analyzing Nietzsche's confrontation withtraditional values, Krell skillfully engages the legacy of Platonism and Westernmetaphysics that is at the core of Nietzsche's thought. Nietzsche's genealogicalcritique, his doctrine of eternal recurrence of the same, and the Nietzscheanphysiology and psychology of decadence are principal foci. Anyone interested in aphilosophical reflection on questions of genius and pathology, and all readers ofNietzsche, will find Krell's new book compelling reading.
