In this work the author presents Nietzsche as a counter-nihilistic philosopher-educator who aimed, very much like Plato and Rousseau, to set forth a healing education for western man in a characteristically decadent era. The principal pedagogical or edifying dimension of his philosophy, it is argued, consists of a redefinition of the educational aim of modern humanityóformulated in medical and cultural termsóas the recovery of health and worth. The work considers Nietzsche's investigations of noble and nihilistic forms of life as well as his doctrines of the Dionysian, the Will to Power, and the Overman, as aiming to establish a new wisdomódelineating the conditions necessary for the evaluation, enhancement, and prosperity of man. A useful book for courses in philosophy, philosophy of education, history of education and ethics.
