' God is dead' , announced Nietzsche - before going on to abolish himself. Envious contemporaries of Nietzsche ridiculed him as a mad man - and yet they came closer than they knew in characterising a philosopher in whose thought ambivalence approximated to disintegration of the self. While the nineteenth century' s coherent, consistent systems of certainty came crashing down ingloriously at the very first touch of the twentieth, Nietzsche' s discourses survived. He was more modern, it seemed, than the moderns. In this stimulating and provocative guide, Hayman reveals how Nietzsche' s work is more contemporary and relevant than ever in a new postmodern age.
