Amazon.com description: Product Description: First English translation of Nikos Kazantzakisâs 1909 doctoral dissertation on Nietzsche.
This book represents the first English translation of Nikos Kazantzakisâs 1909 dissertation on Friedrich Nietzscheâs political and legal philosophy. Before Kazantzakis became one of the best-known modern Greek writers, he was an avid student of Nietzscheâs thought, discovering Nietzsche while studying law in Paris from 1907 to 1909. This powerful assessment of Nietzscheâs radical political thought is translated here from a restored and authentic recent edition of the original. Its deep insights are unencumbered by the encrustations that generations of Nietzscheâs admirers and detractors have deposed on the original Nietzschean corpus. The book also offers a revealing glimpse into the formative stage of Kazantzakisâs thought.
âThis informative and richly poetic translation ⦠comes ⦠with comprehensive sources for the many quotations and allusions Kazantzakis uses throughout his argument; the âNotesâ section covers almost half of Makridisâs book, in fact, and ⦠all critics will welcome its diligent attention to detail ⦠[A] marvelous and timely book.â â Southern Humanities Review
âThanks to the efforts of the translator, Kazantzakisâs bold, appreciative interpretation of Nietzsche is now available to Anglophone readers. While other figures from the period offered their thoughts on Nietzsche, none approaches the stature and genius of Kazantzakis. This book opens a unique window onto the European intellectual scene at the beginning of the twentieth century.â Â Daniel W. Conway, author of Nietzsche and the Political
