Narcissistic  idiosyncratic  hyperbolic  irreverent--never has a philosopher been appropriated  deconstructed  and scrutinized by such a disparate array of groups  movements  and schools of thought. Adored by many for his passionate ideas and iconoclastic style  he is also vilified for his lack of rigor  apparent cruelty  and disdain for moral decency.  In Living with Nietzsche  Solomon suggests that we read Nietzsche from a very different point of view  as a provocative writer who means to transform the way we view our lives. This means taking Nietzsche personally. Rather than focus on the \"true\" Nietzsche or trying to determine \"what Nietzsche really meant\" by his seemingly random and often contradictory pronouncements about \"the Big Questions\" of philosophy  Solomon reminds us that Nietzsche is not a philosopher of abstract ideas but rather of the dazzling personal insight  the provocative challenge  the incisive personal probe. He does not try to reveal the eternal verities but he does powerfully affect his readers  goading them to see themselves in new and different ways. It is Nietzsches compelling invitation to self-scrutiny that fascinates us  engages us  and guides us to a \"rich inner life.\" Ultimately  Solomon argues  Nietzsche is an example as well as a promulgator of \"passionate inwardness \" a life distinguished by its rich passions  exquisite taste  and a sense of personal elegance and excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45280031735861,"sku":"ByrdShop_0195160142","price":82.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780195160147.jpg?v=1780617824","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/living-with-nietzsche-what-the-great-immoralist-has-to-teach-us-9780195160147","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
