{"product_id":"nietzsches-great-politics-9780691166346","title":"Nietzsches Great Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eNietzsche's impact on the world of culture, \u003cbr\u003e\nphilosophy, and the arts is uncontested, but his political thought \u003cbr\u003e\nremains mired in controversy. By placing Nietzsche back in his \u003cbr\u003e\nlate-nineteenth-century German context, Nietzsche's Great Politics moves\u003cbr\u003e\n away from the disputes surrounding Nietzsche's appropriation by the \u003cbr\u003e\nNazis and challenges the use of the philosopher in postmodern democratic\u003cbr\u003e\n thought. Rather than starting with contemporary democratic theory or \u003cbr\u003e\ncontinental philosophy, Hugo Drochon argues that Nietzsche's political \u003cbr\u003e\nideas must first be understood in light of Bismarck's policies, in \u003cbr\u003e\nparticular his \"Great Politics,\" which transformed the international \u003cbr\u003e\npolitics of the late nineteenth century.  Nietzsche's Great Politics \u003cbr\u003e\nshows how Nietzsche made Bismarck's notion his own, enabling him to \u003cbr\u003e\noffer a vision of a unified European political order that was to serve \u003cbr\u003e\nas a counterbalance to both Britain and Russia. This order was to be led\u003cbr\u003e\n by a \"good European\" cultural elite whose goal would be to encourage \u003cbr\u003e\nthe rebirth of Greek high culture. In relocating Nietzsche's politics to\u003cbr\u003e\n their own time, the book offers not only a novel reading of the \u003cbr\u003e\nphilosopher but also a more accurate picture of why his political \u003cbr\u003e\nthought remains so relevant today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hugo Drochon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44212652376124,"sku":"9780691166346","price":3237.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/nietzsches-great-politics-9780691166346.jpg?v=1776698628","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/nietzsches-great-politics-9780691166346","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
