FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Now published in English, this work takes a structuralist approach to the relation between Nietzsches thought and his life. The author emphasizes the centrality of the notion of "eternal return" for understanding Nietzsches propensities for self-denial, self-reputation and self-consumption. Nietzsches ideas did not stem from personal pathology, according to Klossowski. Rather, he made a pathological use of his best ideas, anchoring them in his own fluctuating bodily and mental conditions. Thus Nietzsches belief that questions of truth and morality are basically questions of power and fitness, resonates dynamically and intellectually with his alternating lucidity and delirium. Author Biography Klossowski, brother of the painter Balthus, is widely rcognized as a central figure in the contemporary French avant-garde.
