About this book

Radically revises Nietzsche’s ethical and political views by controversially interpreting his philosophy as phenomenological

Closely analyses the often-disregarded middle period works by Nietzsche, including The Gay Science, Daybreak and Human, All Too Human
Includes a new interpretation of key concepts, such as will to power, to emphasise their phenomenological import
Engages with prominent commentators from the continental and analytic tradition including Ruth Abbey, Keith Ansell-Pearson, Rebecca Bamford, Christa Davis Acampora, and Robert C. Miner
Advances new perspectives on central and well-known passages from Nietzsche's corpus

Christine Daigle explores Nietzsche’s phenomenological method, a ‘wild phenomenology’, to elucidate his understanding of the human being as an intentional embodied consciousness, as a being-in-the-world and as a being-with-others. Establishing this phenomenological conception of the human allows Daigle to revisit the Nietzschean notions of free spirit and the Overhuman and how they express the ethical and cultural-political flourishing Nietzsche envisions for human beings.

This daring reinterpretation of Nietzsche’s philosophy resolves inconsistencies in previous scholarship and offers a thought-provoking new take on his ethical and political views.
