Synopsis

Inspired by the ancient and medieval genre, A Nietzschean Bestiary gathers essays treating the most vivid and lively animal images in one of the philosophic traditions greatest bodies of work. Leading scholars treat specific animals—such as the prowling beast of prey, Zarathustras laughing lions, and the notorious blond beast—to ingeniously reveal how these creatures play a prominent role in the development of Nietzsches philosophy. Numerous essays explore the nature of human animality and our relations to other animals. Contributors shed new light on Nietzsches conception of power, freedom, and meaning. Research tools, including discussions of Nietzsches influence on important twentieth-century philosophers and the most extensive index of animal references in Nietzsches corpus, make this an essential volume for scholars and students alike.
