By placing Nietzsche back in his late-nineteenth-century German context, \u003ci\u003eNietzsche's Great Politics\u003c\/i\u003e moves away from the disputes surrounding Nietzsche's appropriation by the Nazis and challenges the use of the philosopher in postmodern democratic thought. Rather than starting with contemporary democratic theory or continental philosophy, Hugo Drochon argues that Nietzsche's political ideas must first be understood in light of Bismarck's policies, in particular his \"Great Politics,\" which transformed the international politics of the late nineteenth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNietzsche's Great Politics\u003c\/i\u003e shows how Nietzsche made Bismarck's notion his own, enabling him to offer a vision of a unified European political order that was to serve as a counterbalance to both Britain and Russia. This order was to be led by a \"good European\" cultural elite whose goal would be to encourage the rebirth of Greek high culture. In relocating Nietzsche's politics to their own time, the book offers not only a novel reading of the philosopher but also a more accurate picture of why his political thought remains so relevant today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hugo Drochon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691180694","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711202136201,"sku":"9780691180694","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_84d7c614-4f90-4eee-8113-030066632fc4.jpg?v=1719564027","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/nietzsches-great-politics-9780691180694","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
