Spurs: Nietzsche's Styles/Eperons: Les Styles de Nietzsche

Spurs: Nietzsche's Styles/Eperons: Les Styles de Nietzsche by Derrida, Jacques. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780226143330.

Nietzsche has recently enjoyed much scrutiny from the nouveaux critiques. Jacques Derrida, the leader of that movement, here combines in his strikingly original and incisive fashion questions of sexuality, politics, writing, judgment, procreation, death, and even the weather into a far-reaching analysis of the challenges bequeathed to the modern world by Nietzsche. Spurs, then, is aptly titled, for Derridas "deconstructions" of Nietzsches meanings will surely act as spurs to further thought and controversy. This dual-language edition offers the English-speaking reader who has some knowledge of French an opportunity to examine the stylistic virtuosity of Derridas writing—of particular significance for his analysis of "the question of style."
