The Other Nietzsche

This volume explores facets of Nietzsche relatively untouched by the majority of the vast literature on him. Stambaugh concentrates on his ideas on art and creativity in general, regarding these realms of human endeavor as not limited to aesthetics in the narrower sense, but as constitutive of life itself. She also explores a much neglected side of Nietzsches thought, a dimension that is poetic and mystical. Drawing mainly from Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsches most enigmatic and profound work, Stambaugh interprets Nietzsches ultimate affirmation of life out of his experience of eternity.
