Nietzsche's system
by Richardson, John
In recent years post-modernist critics have embraced Nietzsche as a philosopher who broke fundamentally free from the traditions of Western philosophy, even to the point of rejecting the goal of truth. In this original study that is sure to provoke stimulating discussion, John Richardson challenges these interpretations with a "conservative" reading of Nietzsche which, instead, displays his deep continuities with those philosophical traditions.
Richardson carefully and systematically extrapolates from Nietzsche's work a metaphysical system that demonstrates how Nietzsche did indeed aspire to find and state essential truths, both descriptive and valuative, about us and the world. Scrutinizing the controversial philosopher's basic thoughts, Richardson seeks to unveil the larger structure and unifying sense to Nietzsche's strikingly diverse views.
