Synopsis
This reading of Nietzsche counters the often misleading interpretation of post-modern commentators, largely under the influence of Derrida. In this critique, the author reconstructs Nietzche's relationship to Schopenhauer and Heidegger, and argues that Nietzsche was not, as the postmodernists contend, a relativist or pluralist, but that he cultivated an existential appreciation of truth.

Countering the post modern reading of Nietzsche under the influence of Derrida that makes him into a relativist or pluralist, reconstructs the philosopher's relationship to Schopenhauer and Heidegger and argues that he cultivated an existential appreciation of truth. Discusses perspectivism and its limits, the hierarchy of the spirit, and redemption and life affirmation. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
