The work of Friedrich Nietzsche is remarkable for the manner in which it resists and disrupts the Platonic philosophical tradition, illuminating the ways that language creates, defines, and deforms our perspective of being in the world. Focusing on Nietzsche's masterful use of diverse rhetorical strategies and techniques, this book demonstrates that coming to terms with Nietzsche's style is central to understanding his thought. Thomas examines a range of primary texts to show how Nietzsche's provocative and playful use of language enables him to challenge accepted metaphysical truths - and to recover rhetoric itself as an alternative means of generating meaning and value.
Helping to resituate Nietzsche's intellectual legacy within the broader context of contemporary rhetorical studies, this book will be read with pleasure by rhetoricians, undergraduate and graduate-level students of rhetoric, and Nietzsche scholars working within departments of philosophy and literature.
