Blackwell Great Minds: Nietzsche

- Blurb -

NOTE: We already have one project under contract with Schacht, ANietzsche Dictionary, which is long overdue and may never arrive. Iwant to sign this book up, first because Schacht actually seemsenthusiastic about it (unlike his reaction when I mention theDictionary project), and second because he's one of the very bestnames in Nietzsche scholarship, with a proven record of being ableto do books of this nature. Schacht cannot start work on thisproject immediately, which is why I'm also delighted to present theproposal for Ansell-Pearson's Nietzsche project.The blurb will be developed in conjunction with Schacht's planfor the book. Suffice it to say that Nietzsche is one of the mostpopular philosophers in the public eye, with interest cuttingacross disciplines, methologies, and generations of scholars, withRichard Schacht being one of the foremost Nietzsche scholarswriting today (but well known for his ability to explainNietzsche's dense and aphoristic writing in a clear andwell-balanced manner).The book will follow the series brief, focusing on a clear andcompelling exposition of a figure's thinking, historical context,and their relevance to human experience today.
