Nietzschean Criticism without style,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Reading Nietzsche Rhetorically (Hardcover)
To begin I must say that as to content and organization, this is an excellent book. The problem is it is about style. This is only a problem in that the book itself lacks one. In the words of the Negro Spiritual "Everybody talkin' `bout hebben aint goin' there." Is it perhaps enough to talk about Nietzsche's style when he explicitly tells us that conquering nihilism requires we enact our own (GS 290)? Could it be that our author has imbibed too much nihilist French criticism, which evades coming to grips with Nietzsche (which must come at the expense of dealing with the me myself) in the name of becoming merely "Nietzschean?" Is this not, perhaps, how all "Truth" begins: in becoming critical in order to avoid having to come to grips with the me myself? By all means, buy this book. Read this book. But become who you are, not just somebody who knows how to debunk "Truth."
