Heidegger's Nietzsche: Being and Becoming

Hammering, bombastic, poetic, mystic Nietzsche as seen through the mind of the great ontologist Martin Heidegger is what Dr. Catanu delivers in this new volume. Nietzsche's thought dissected, critiqued and delimited by the author of "Being and Time" one of the most influential modern philosophers of our day, is explored in this insightful new volume, containing never before translated passages from the Nietzschean Nachlass. Heidegger's Nietzsche re-assesses Nietzsche's metaphysics of Becoming and extends Heidegger's line of thought into areas the ontologist neglected. Providing fresh insight into the minds of these two great Western thinkers, "Heidegger's Nietzsche: Being and Becoming" is a must read for today's discerning scholar and thinker. ". . . A product of impressive erudition and scholarship, this book takes a comprehensive survey of Nietzsche's texts on Becoming, and shows how that idea is entangled with all others central to his philosophy, including will to power, eternal recurrence, nihilism and the overman. The book evinces the author's acquaintance with an impressive amount of the secondary literature, on both the continental and the Anglo-American sides. It delves deeply into most of the relevant issues and throws helpful light in many places." - John Richardson, Professor of Philosophy, New York University
