书名: Redeeming Nietzsche: On the Piety of Unbelief
作者: Giles Fraser (Author)
出版社: Routledge; 1 edition (March 15, 2002)
语言: English
ISBN-10: 0415272912
ISBN-13: 978-0415272919
Book Description
Best known for having declared the death of God, Nietzsche was a thinker thoroughly absorbed in the Christian tradition in which he was born and raised. Yet while the atheist Nietzsche is well known, the pious Nietzsche is seldom recognised and rarely understood. Redeeming Nietzsche examines the residual theologian in the most vociferous of atheists.
Fraser demonstrates that although Nietzsche rejected God, he remained obsessed with the question of human salvation. Examining his accounts of art, truth, morality and eternity, Nietzsche's thought is revealed to be a series of experiments in redemption.
Review
"Fraser's overall argument is careful and persuasive. Taking Nietzsche seriously as a thinker of redemption opens up new possibilities for critical interpretations of his texts, and it is not merely a move for the theological readings of his work....Fraser has broken a new trail into Nietzsche's enchanted forest; following it, we may find other paths not yet traveled." -- Modern Theology, July 2004
