Nietzsche and the Political
In this study Daniel Conway shows how Nietzsche's political thinking bears a closer resemblance to the conservative republicanism of his predecessors than to the progressive liberalism of his contemporaries. The key contemporary figures such as Habermas, Foucault, McIntyre, Rorty and Rawls are also examined in the light of Nietzsche's political legacy. Nietzsche and the Political also draws out important implications for contemporary liberalism and feminist thought, above all showing Nietzsche's continuing relevance to the shape of political thinking today.

Moncure Daniel Conway: Authbiography and Miscellaneous Writings
Moncure Daniel Conway (1832-1907) is an important figure in the history of the Ohio Hegelians, the anti-slavery movement, pacifism, transcendentalism and freethought. After his graduation in 1849, Conway spent one year as a circuitriding Methodist minister. Too theologically liberal for the Methodist church, in 1852 Conway moved to Boston where he began a life-long friendship with his mentor, Ralph Waldo Emerson, studied at the Harvard Divinity School, and served as editor of The Dial and The Commonwealth. Conway was dismissed from his first pulpit at a Unitarian church in Washington, DC because of his anti-slavery sermons. Later, he lectured in England during the Civil War, arguing the case of the abolitionist North. Besides editing and contributing essays to many periodicals, he was the author of over 70 books, including a particularly influential biography of Thomas Paine (1892).
