Handbuch Nietzsche und die Wissenschaften

Más información sobre el libro

Nietzsche s philosophy stands at the intersection of many currents in science and thought that animated the 19th century. Dynamic change in the humanities as well as in the natural and social sciences generated new methods, perspectives, and hierarchies of the sciences. This context is essential for understanding Nietzsche s philosophy. The 18 essays contained in this volume each discuss one academic discipline and its effects on Nietzsche s thought. It is thus a valuable guide to the history of science and ideas in the 19th century, and not just for scholars of Nietzsche.
