Overview

Nietzsche argued that metaphor is at the basis of language, concepts, and perception, making it the vehicle by which humans interpret the world. As such, metaphor has profound consequences for the nature of religion and of philosophy. Nietzsche, Metaphor, Religion connects Nietzsche's early writing on rhetoric and metaphor, especially as understood by contemporary French philosophers and literary theorists, with Nietzsche's later writing on religion. The result is a radically anti-foundationalist reading of Nietzsche's 0 "philosophy of religion" as an unending series of metaphoric-literary agons or contests.
