How did the young Nietzsche—classicist and ardent advocate of Wagner’s cultural renewal—become the philosopher of Will to Power and the Eternal Return?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith this book, Laurence Lampert answers that question. He does so through his trademark technique of close readings of key works in Nietzsche’s journey to philosophy: \u003ci\u003eThe Birth of Tragedy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSchopenhauer as Educator\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRichard Wagner in Bayreuth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHuman All Too Human\u003c\/i\u003e, and “Sanctus Januarius,” the final book of the 1882 \u003ci\u003eGay Science\u003c\/i\u003e. Relying partly on how Nietzsche himself characterised his books in his many autobiographical guides to the trajectory of his thought, Lampert sets each in the context of Nietzsche’s writings as a whole, and looks at how they individually treat the question of what a philosopher is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIndispensable to his conclusions are the workbooks in which Nietzsche first recorded his advances, especially the 1881 workbook which shows him gradually gaining insights into the two foundations of his mature thinking. The result is the most complete picture we’ve had yet of the philosopher’s development, one that gives us a Promethean Nietzsche, gaining knowledge even as he was expanding his thought to create new worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464771059948,"sku":"9780226760438","price":91.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226760438-what-a-philosopher-is.jpg?v=1775054233"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/laurence-lampert.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
