Nietzsche for the 21st Century

By: Rebekah S. Peery

Prof. Peery's first two books emphasized Nietzsche's concerns and contributions as a cultural critic and cultural historian; this time, she concentrates on his major legacy as a philosopher. Taking a tender scalpel to his works, from Ecce Homo and Thus Spake Zarathustra to Beyond Good and Evil and others, she gets inside to the heart of his writing and creates an intellectual dialogue involving everyone from Dionysus and Democritus to Jacob Burckhardt and GWF Hegel. "By dialectical process," she notes, "Nietzsche reasserts Heraclitus' views of the constant tension, or process, always occurring between two opposites, interacting elements, or forces." She also brings in the contributions of R. J. Hollingdale and other Nietzsche analysts to present a range of insights into these nuanced writings whose application to current reality seems perhaps more apt than ever. During his lifetime (1844–1900), the impact of Nietzsche's thinking was dimly perceived, if at all, by most of his contemporaries or readers. Into and during the 20th century, however, the unexpected, the dangers, but mostly the possibilities, of his ideas began to be recognized, explored, and adopted — and resisted. There were exciting creative achievements far beyond Nietzsche's philosophy. These ideas continued to rapidly display their increasingly amazing and untapped resources. Well into the 21st century appreciating, interpreting, and evaluating Nietzsche's thinking appear to be rising — still, or again. And he repays generously every effort, every investment.

Nietzsche on War

By: Rebekah S. Peery

Prof. Peery offers new interpretations of Nietzsche's ideas regarding power, values, nature, contrariety, and language, truth and deception, religion, experience, sexuality and sexual politics that could provide new and provocative approaches toward dealing with the rising menace of war. She shows that had Nietzsche directly focussed on questions concerning war, his interpretations of its destructive, corrosive nature would have matched his critique of Christianity in substance and intensity."--Publisher's website.

Nietzsche, Philosopher of the Perilous Perhaps

By: Rebekah S. Peery

Friedrich Nietzsche''s notoriety is most often associated with his perspectives on, and interpretations of, Christianity. Here, the author unmasks the great essayist as he surreptitiously and cleverly proceeds to expose the destructive power of Christianity on Western culture (and hence the world). As we face a rapidly growing specter of religious turmoil and threat on the international scene, this timely study provides an overview of Friedrich NietzscheOCOs positions and ideas about the Church and about power more broadly.
