Publisher's Synopsis
Is Friedrich Nietzsche a philosopher of culture(s)? This book deals with Nietzsche's examination of the concept and concrete instances of culture as well as with his plans to create a culture affirmed bylife. The author explores how far Nietzsche's attempt to judge his own culture from the perspective of other culturesalready provides a new path for intercultural reflection. Finally, the book treats the reception of Nietzsche's cultural-philosophical views in the 20th century and questions how far Nietzsche's cultural thought is relevant for contemporary cultural philosophy and the "cultural turn" in the humanities.
