An incisive exploration of Nietzsche as a bold, visionary poet-philosopher. Â Today, Nietzsche is justly celebrated for his rich, philosophical naturalism, but Keith Ansell-Pearson warns that we must not overlook the visionary dimension of his thinking and his focus on the need to cultivate a new care of the self and care of life. In Nietzscheâs Earthbound Wisdom, Ansell-Pearson recovers Nietzscheâs love for a philosophy that guides us through our passions, one that opens us more fully to the possibilities of life and the joy of knowledge. Ansell-Pearson offers close readings of Nietzscheâs texts in conversation with philosophical and literary figures including Augustine, Baudelaire, Carlyle, Dostoevsky, Emerson, Flaubert, Stendhal, and more. Throughout, Ansell-Pearson examines Nietzscheâs sophisticated critique of literary naturalism and his alternative conception of the poet as a seer who has a deep longing for a new earth. |
