Nietzsche’S Aphoristic Challenge

ISBN: 9783110323931 出版年：2013 页码：196 Westerdale, Joel De Gruyter

The "aphoristic form causes difficulty," Nietzsche lamented in 1887, for "today this form is not taken seriously enough." Over a century later, Nietzsche´s Aphoristic Challenge offers the first book-length study in English devoted explicitly Nietzsche´s aphoristic writings, including Human, All Too Human and The Gay Science. This literary-philosophical study argues that the function of the aphorism for Nietzsche changes over time, but throughout can best be understood, perhaps counter-intuitively, in terms of excess.
