Nietzsche as Phenomenologist, Hardcover

Christine Daigle explores Nietzsche's phenomenological method, a 'wild phenomenology', to elucidate his understanding of the human being as an intentional embodied consciousness, as a being-in-the-world and as a being-with-others. Establishing this phenomenological conception of the human allows Daigle to revisit the Nietzschean notions of free spirit and the Overhuman and how they express the ethical and cultural-political flourishing Nietzsche envisions for human beings.
