Pieces of Nietzsche: A Thinker's Bias - Paperback

by Stuart France (Author)

The question of value goes to the heart of who we are, what we are and why we think we are here...A tendency to make certain assumptions about our environment appears to be intrinsic to our nature, yet the meaningful existence we crave can only ever be granted by a 'higher power' which we now seem loathe to recognise outside of ourselves...We have always looked to those best qualified to answer our most fervent questions but what if they too have fallen foul of the 'Auction-House of Things'...And what of the Beyond?Friedrich Nietzsche, philosophical and psychological genius of the nineteenth century, in his book, 'Beyond Good and Evil', presaged the breakdown of the Western Aristocratic ruling elite and the irresistible forces that led to two catastrophic world wars. This new poetic interpretation of his master work teases out still relevant lines of thought for the reappraisal of our rapidly disintegrating current world order.
