ISBN: 9780521322553.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis study of Hegel and Nietzsche evaluates and compares their work through their common criticism of the metaphysics for operating with conceptual oppositions such as being\/becoming and egoism\/altruism. Dr Houlgate exposes Nietzsches critique as employing the distinction of Life and Thought, which itself constitutes a metaphysical dualism of the kind Nietzsche attacks. By comparison Hegel is shown to provide a more profound critique of metaphysical dualism by applying his philosophy of the dialectic, which sees such alleged opposites as defining components of a dynamic. In choosing to study a theme so fundamental to both philosophers work, Houlgate has established a framework within which to evaluate the Hegel-Nietzsche debate; to make the first full study of Nietzsches view of Hegels work; and to compare Nietzsches Dionysic philosophy with Hegels dialectical philosophy by focusing on tragedy, a subject central to the philosophy of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45213146185781,"sku":"ByrdShop_0521322553","price":315.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780521322553_b553d2ea-3862-457a-90af-b1d9ce2079d6.jpg?v=1779912600","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/hegel-nietzsche-and-the-criticism-of-metaphysics-9780521322553","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
