Bøger i Monographien und Texte zur Nietzsche-forschung serien

Nietzsche zeigt, dass die Sprache, wo immer sie Wirklichkeit abbildet, diese verfälscht. Diese Feststellung muss jedoch nicht mit einer Entwertung der Sprache einhergehen, sondern sie erlaubt vielmehr, deren schöpferisches Potenzial für das Erkennen freizulegen. Ein halbes Jahrhundert später findet man auch bei Adorno den Versuch, die Sprache während des Sturzes der Wahrheit und Erkenntnis verbürgenden Metaphysik dennoch als Darstellungsinstrument zu retten. Doch wie lässt sich die spezifische Darstellungsform einer Philosophie begreifen, die die Form selbst als Verfälschung ihres Inhalts begreift? Was ist die ,Form' kritischen Denkens? Das Buch untersucht ästhetische Konvergenzen zwischen zwei Denkern, die die philosophische Forschung üblicherweise auseinanderhält, da sie Nietzsches ,Perspektivismus' für unvereinbar mit Adornos ,Materialismus' hält. Die Autorin zeigt dagegen auf, wie entscheidend Nietzsche für die Prägung von Adornos Ästhetik ist ("Ich habe ihm am meisten zu verdanken, in Wahrheit vielleicht mehr noch als Hegel") und wie tief sich ihre Überlegungen entlang dreier Themenkreise verweben: Sprachkritik, Musik und Stil. Das Buch unternimmt es auf diese Weise, eine Tradition der ästhetischen Form zu rekonstruieren, die dem logischen Positivismus der Sprachphilosophien des 20. Jahrhunderts gegenübersteht.

Die Hauptthese dieses Buches ist es, Krankheit und Gesundheit mit Nietzsche auf zwei verschiedenen Ebenen zu denken, nämlich als Ereignisse des Willens zur Macht in einem zirkulär-relationalen Modell, in dem sie sich gegenseitig behaupten, sowie die Metaebene der Konzeptualisierung anzuerkennen. Es behandelt die Schwierigkeit des begrifflichen Denkens, diese Ereignisse einzuholen, und diskutiert kritisch Modellbildungen, die darauf hinauslaufen, dass Krankheit zu überwinden und als lineares singuläres Ereignis zu verstehen sei. In Nietzsches Spätwerk wird die Figur des "dionysischen Künstlers" als Idealisierung der Gesundheit gemäß seiner interpretierenden Sichtweise der Welt dargestellt. Die Relevanz des Buches liegt darin, eine Analyse der Begriffe von Gesundheit und Krankheit (tragischer und schlechter Pessimismus) in direkter Beziehung zu leiblichen Vorgängen vorzulegen, die sich von metaphysisch-dialektischen Voraussetzungen befreit. Zu diesem Zweck widmet die Untersuchung sich einer intertextuellen Lektüre der fünf Vorreden, die Nietzsche 1886/87 zu seinen früheren Schriften verfasste, und verknüpft sie mit der Interpretation des Nachlasses und weiterer Veröffentlichungen aus seiner letzten Schaffensphase.

Nietzsche's critical engagement with philosophical methodology has considerable potential to contribute to solving problems in the contemporary philosophy of mind and science. The chapters in this book explain the nature of Nietzsche's experimentalism and show how it allows us to clarify the relationship between philosophy and scientific method. The author demonstrates how Nietzsche can help us to respond in fresh ways to a selection of problems in contemporary philosophy of science, including the realism-antirealism debate, and the status of thought experiments. In so doing, Nietzsche's approach to the philosophy of science gets more accessible to scholars of the history and philosophy of science unfamiliar with his work. Furthermore, Nietzsche's experimentalism is applied to a key question in philosophy of mind, in order to show its contemporary relevance.

How does Nietzsche, as psychologist, envision the future of religion and atheism? While there has been no lack of ¿psychological¿ studies that have sought to illuminate Nietzsche's philosophy of religion by interpreting his biography, this monograph is the first comprehensive study to approach the topic through the philosopher's own psychological thinking. The author shows how Nietzsche's critical writings on religion, and especially on religious decline and future possibilities, are informed by his psychological thinking about moods. The author furthermore argues that the clarification of this aspect of the philosopher¿s work is essential to interpreting some of the most ambiguous words found in his writings; the words that God is dead. Instead of merely denying the existence of God in a way that leaves a melancholic need for religion or a futile search for replacements intact, Nietzsche arguably envisions the possibility of a radical atheism, which is characterized by a mood of joyful doubt. The examination of this vision should be of great interest to scholars of Nietzsche and of the history of philosophy, but also of relevance to all those who take an interest in the interdisciplinary discourse on secularization.

Johannes Heinrich fragt nach Formen autonomer Individualität, welche zugleich nicht hinter die postmoderne 'Auflösung des Subjekts' zurückgehen. Hierzu diskutiert er Nietzsches Begriff des souveränen Individuums und vergleicht dieses Konzept mit dem der foucaultschen Selbstsorge. Die Ergebnisse dienen zu einer Analyse der aktuellen Subjektphilosophie im Hinblick auf das Verständnis autonomer Individualität.

This book argues that Nietzsche bases his affirmative morality on the model of individual responsiveness to otherness which he takes from the mythology of Dionysus. The subject is not free to choose to avoid such responding to the demands of the other. Nietzsche finds that the basic mode of responding is pleasure. This feeling, as a basis for morality, underlies the morality which is true to the earth and the major concepts of "e;will to power"e;, "e;eternal return"e;, and "e;amor fati"e;. The priority of otherness makes all thought ethical and not only aesthetic. The basis of all meanings combines the fundamental impulse of responding outwards with an immediate complement in the individual interpretation-world. This is specifically ethical because the recognition of our own historical specificity arises as a result of the refusal of others to become mere differences within our notion of the Same, and through their demand that we "e;become who we are"e; in the recognition of their separate existence.

Nietzsche's work was shaped by his engagement with ancient Greek philosophy. Matthew Meyer analyzes Nietzsche's concepts of becoming and perspectivism and his alleged rejection of the principle of non-contradiction, and he traces these views back to the Heraclitean-Protagorean position that Plato and Aristotle critically analyze in the Theaetetus and Metaphysica IV, respectively. At the center of this Heraclitean-Protagorean position is a relational ontology in which everything exists and is what it is only in relation to something else. Meyer argues that this relational ontology is not only theoretically foundational for Nietzsche's philosophical project, in that it is the common element in Nietzsche's views on becoming, perspectivism, and the principle of non-contradiction, but also textually foundational, in that Nietzsche implicitly commits himself to such an ontology in raising the question of opposites at the beginning of both Human, All Too Human and Beyond Good and Evil.

Im Fruhwerk Nietzsches kann das Phanomen Rhythmus als eine anthropologische Technik verstanden werden, asthetischen Strukturen unter den Bedingungen der Zeitlichkeit Dauer zu verschaffen. Wenn Nietzsche die Erscheinungsformen antiker und moderner Kultur veranschaulicht und kritisiert, so ist es der Leitfaden des Rhythmus, anhand dessen er ihre jeweilige kulturelle Kompetenz beurteilt, den Menschen als temporales Wesen im und gegen den Fluss der Zeit zu behaupten. Dabei zeigt sich, dass Nietzsche Antike und Gegenwart von ihren spezifischen Ausgangsbedingungen her grundlegend unterscheidet und anhand dieser Gegenuberstellung seine Kritik der zeitgenossischen Anthropologie, Wissenschaft und Asthetik profiliert. In zwei Schritten, einem ersten Kapitel zu Nietzsches Sichtweise der antiken Rhythmik und einem zweiten zu seinem Blick auf rhythmische Erscheinungsformen zeitgenossischer Kultur, unternimmt es die vorliegende Studie, seine asthetische Anthropologie des Rhythmus im Spannungsfeld von Antikerezeption und Modernekritik zu entfalten.

Nietzsche's philosophy is a philosophy of lightness, a lightness which doesn't consist in breaking with gravity but in controlling it: being light is being able to take charge of life, ie bearing and loving it, wanting it.This book is first devoted to Greek lightness for Nietzsche finds in Ancient Greece the pattern for an alleviation which enables to unload one's drives without denying oneself. The study of Greek culture is thus the starting point of a close analysis of the "e;human, all-too-human"e; things, ie an inquiry whose orientation is definitely antimetaphysical, ie antiplatonic, antischopenhauerian and antiwagnerian: Nietzsche first shows that alleviation in religion has a "e;double face"e;: on the one hand, religion makes man's heart heavy with sinfulness; on the other hand it lightens it with the fiction of a merciful God. True alleviation thus consists in freeing oneself from religious lightening, and proclaiming the radical innocence of everything. Nietzsche also criticizes alleviation in art, ie a romantic alleviation. He shows that - like alleviation in religion - it requires a previous heaviness. Therefore he praises a classical art and an aesthetic of lightness. Nietzsche eventually focuses on a philosophical alleviation of life, defined as a freeing of spirit. Such a definition leads him to develop the "e;doctrine of the closest things"e;, which consist of the organization of a dietary alleviation of life.

"e;It is not for nothing that one has been a philologist, perhaps one is a philologist still!"e; - Throughout his work, Nietzsche has paid numerous tributes to philological scholarship. On the basis of a wide variety of sources, this study undertakes to demonstrate the deep impact of the historical-critical philology in which he had been trained. Nietzsche did not abandon philology in favour of philosophy but openly acknowledged his debt to its methods, especially in his later writings. This insight contributes to a reassessment of central concepts like text, genealogy, interpretation, or perspectivism, and it leads to a rejection of standard accounts in the theory of interpretation as well as in the history of scholarship. The book pleads for literary scholarship grounded in sceptical philology.
