Publisher's Synopsis
The enigmatic figure of Friedrich Nietzsche has been widely regarded as the most controversial thinker in modern history. His ideas and concepts have been studied and critiqued by the best of academia. Yet, there is no conclusive evidence on exactly where he stands. Was this his intention? This book attempts to psychologically profile the great philosopher, challenge his notions, and bring to light the very archetype that has sparked the great debate on Morality. Will Nietzsche's concepts stand the test of time and could they be pivotal to unlocking the key to reality.
"The Nietzsche Paradigm" attempts to confront Nietzsche's ideas with an army of hypothesis-based notions. Nietzsche becomes tied to neo-nazism, and yet at the same time disassociated from original Nazism and the Holocaust. While Nietzsche is critiqued heavily, the book takes much of what comprises his archetype and identifies it as key to mitigating the dangers arising from contemporary "herd" mentality. But still and all, the book also consigns his very archetype to both extremes of the political spectrum, left and right. His anti-traditionalist mindset, however, forces the author to eventually eliminate the notion of far right, and relegate all anti-mainstream, anti-tradition outlooks to the left.
