尼采的使命：《善恶的彼岸》绎读

by Laurence Lampert, 劳伦斯·朗佩特, 李致远 (Translator)

尼采的使命是什么？就是哲学的使命：获得一个全面的、堪称正确的视角，以观察世界和人对世界的安排。尼采最重要的书就是《扎拉图斯特拉如是说》和《善恶的彼岸》。这两部书都旨在表明：哲学既是可能的，也是值得的；理智有理由赞同某种关于全部事物的特殊解释，情感也有理由接受这种特殊的解释并用它指导生活。尼采说《扎拉图斯特拉如是说》：“本人使命的肯定言说部分已获解决”。而《善恶的彼岸》恰恰相反：“接下来就轮到否定言说，本人使命的否定行动部分。”《善恶的彼岸》讨论了扎拉图斯特拉发现的两大教诲，即权力意志和永恒复返，同时也点出了这两大教诲的内涵，即重估过去的一切价值。

Reviews

[Jim Coughenour · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found Lampert an invaluable commentator as I read my way through Beyond Good and Evil. His writing lacks the charm of his subject, but I suspect I would have understood Nietzsche half as well without him. Lampert is deeply intelligent, accessible and unpretentious. He even made me appreciate Leo Strauss (an event I've long considered impossible.) Recommended for the assiduous.
