The book offers new interpretations of Nietzsche's thinking -- considering especially his ideas regarding power, values, nature, contrariety, sexuality and sexual politics -- that could offer new and provocative approaches toward dealing with the rising menace of war. His breadth and depth of interests and his scholarly background make Nietzsche uniquely qualified to comment.
The author quotes from many of Nietzsche's own writings and introduces selected earlier writers whom she believes would have influenced his own thinking on the subject of war, from Thomas Aquinas to Bachofen. Particularly as philosopher, psychologist, philologist and historian, Nietzsche's own words provide the immediate and best access to his thoughts. A thinker of Nietzsche's stature might contribute to the anguished debates rending society even today.
