Nietzsche's System (Paperback, Revised)

In recent years critics have embraced Nietzsche as a philosopher who broke free from the traditions of Western philosophy, even to the point of rejecting the goal of truth. Richardson's original book challenges these interpretations with a "conservative" reading of Nietzsche which points, instead, to the many continuities in his work to those very philosophical traditions. Demonstrating the larger structure and metaphysical unity in Nietzsche's strikingly diverse views, Richardson offers a genuinely radical interpretation of the controversial thinker.
