Download or read book Grounding the Nietzsche Rhetoric of Earth written by Adrian Del Caro and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2004 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This treatment is the first to comprehensively address the issue of where Nietzsche stands in relation to environment, and it will contribute to the 'greening' of Nietzsche. Using a philological method Del Caro reveals the ecumenical Nietzsche whose doctrines are strategies for responsible and creative partnership between humans and earth. The major doctrines are shown to be organically related to early writings linked to paganism, the quotidian, and the closest things of Human, All Too Human. Perspective is shifted from time to place in the eternal recurrence of the same, and from power to empowerment in The Will to Power.
