Omschrijving
“An outstanding work of Nietzsche scholarship.”
“An outstanding work of Nietzsche scholarship.”
"Contesting Nietzsche is a helpful book in many ways, and it covers a wide range of topics central to Nietzsche’s philosophy. Readers interested in understanding more about how Nietzsche’s early philosophical career and view of the ancient Greeks affect his philosophical project as a whole must grapple with Acampora’s views on this topic."
"Acampora examines the importance of the agon, or contest, in Nietzsche’s writings . . . . Acampora’s treatment of the agon is the first concentrated and comprehensive analysis, with extensive detail that demonstrates the centrality of contestation throughout Nietzsche’s work. For those readers who may not have grasped the importance of the agon in Nietzsche’s philosophy, Acampora’s study does indeed provide a key to unlock his texts. . . . This is an important book that makes a major contribution to Nietzsche research."
“Contesting Nietzsche offers a compelling interpretation of Nietzsche’s overall philosophical project. By focusing on the concept and practice of contestation, Christa Davis Acampora is able to demonstrate that Nietzsche’s various polemics, seemingly free-swinging and indiscriminate, actually express the deeper unity that informs his philosophy. This is a timely and welcome contribution to the secondary literature on Nietzsche’s philosophy.”

“Contesting Nietzsche is one of the finest pieces of Nietzsche scholarship to appear in many years. It offers both a comprehensive interpretation of the key texts in Nietzsche’s oeuvre and contributes significant insights to some of the key topics in Nietzsche scholarship, including his naturalism, account of agency, approach to science, and possible contribution to thinking about democracy.”
