(Ebook) Nietzsche & the Metaphysics of the Tragic by Nuno Nabais ISBN 9781472547101, 9780826466778, 1472547101, 082646677X

In this major new work, Nuno Nabais, a leading figure in Nietzsche Studies, provides a cogent survey of the development of Nietzsche's thought, investigating the importance of tragedy in the evolution of Nietzsche's thinking and how a crucial reinscription of the Stoics would come to play a central role in his philosophy. Nabais explores the differences between the theory of the sublime in the thought of Nietzsche, Kant and Schopenhauer, concentrating, in particular, on the problem of individuality and the conception of necessity in Nietzsche. Nabais's attention to the full corpus of Nietzsche's philosophy is rare among contemporary studies of the philosopher. Not only is Nietzsche integrally read, but his context in the evolution of western philosophy, from the Greeks to the Post-Modernists, is seen in a fresh light. This is an important and original book for students and academics in Nietzsche Studies and in the areas of Aesthetics, Ethics and Epistemology.
