ISBN: 0415272912 ISBN-13: 9780415272919 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $47.45 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: January 2002 Annotation: Best known for having declared the death of God, Nietzsche was a thinker thoroughly absorbed in the Christian tradition in which he was born and raised. Yet while the atheist Nietzsche is well known, the pious Nietzsche is seldom recognised and rarely understood. "Redeeming Nietzsche" examines the residual theologian in the most vociferous of atheists. Fraser demonstrates that although Nietzsche rejected God, he remained obsessed with the question of human salvation. Examining his accounts of art, truth, morality and eternity, Nietzsche's thought is revealed to be a series of experiments in redemption. |
