Synopsis
Murphy (religion, Case Western Reserve University) examines the relationship between Neitzsche's early writings on rhetoric and metaphor and his later work concerning religion. Drawing in part from the views of contemporary French philosophers and literary theorists, Murphy offers an anti-foundationalist interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy of religion, depicting it as an unending series of metaphoric-literary contests. The structure of metaphor is especially examined. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
