Nietzsche and the Question of Interpretation
The first attempt at assessing the references to interpretation theory in the Nietzschean text.
Nietzsche's Early Literary Writings and the Birth of Tragedy
The name Friedrich Nietzsche resonates around the world. Although known primarily as a philosopher, Nietzsche began his writing career while still a boy with literary texts: poetry, prose, and dramas. The present book is the first extensive study in English of these early literary works. It understands Nietzsche in the light of his activity as a creative writer from his juvenilia through his first two years as professor of classical philology at the University of Basel, that is, through the 1872 publication of his first major work, The Birth of Tragedy Out of the Spirit of Music. Knowledge of Nietzsche's early literary writings further underscores the value of The Birth of Tragedy as a work ...
Nietzsche and Zen
In Nietzsche and Zen: Self-Overcoming Without a Self, André van der Braak engages Nietzsche in a dialogue with four representatives of the Buddhist Zen tradition: Nagarjuna (c. 150-250), Linji (d. 860), Dogen (1200-1253), and Nishitani (1900-1990).In doing so, he reveals Nietzsche's thought as a philosophy of continuous self-overcoming, in which even the notion of "self" has been overcome. Van der Braak begins by analyzing Nietzsche's relationship to Buddhism and status as a transcultural thinker,recalling research on Nietzsche and Zen to date and setting out the basic argument of the study. He continues by examining the practices of self-overcoming in Nietzsche and Zen, comparing Nietzsche...
Nietzsche and Asian Thought
Nietzsche's work has had a significant impact on the intellectual life of non-Western cultures and elicited responses from thinkers outside of the Anglo-American philosophical traditions as well. These essays address the connection between his ideas and ph
Nietzsche und die Religionen
Die Studie stellt Nietzsches Wissen über nichtchristliche Religionen und besonders außereuropäische Kulturen dar, das ihm schwerpunktmäßig in seinem Bildungsweg vermittelt wurde, der in einem besonders hohen Umfang (einschließlich unveröffentlichter Materialien) – wie bei keinem anderen Denker – durch seine eigenen Aufzeichnungen erhalten geblieben ist. Darin spiegelt sich die Wahrnehmung „fremder“ Kulturen im Bildungssystem des 19. Jahrhunderts. Zugleich trägt diese Darstellung zur konkreten Erfassung des wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen (insbesondere des vergleichend-sprachwissenschaftlichen und indogermanistischen) Umfelds der Entstehungsgeschichte der Religionswissenschaft bei, der Nietzsche schon früh begegnet ist. Hierin sind wichtige Grundlagen seines späteren transkulturellen Denkens zu erblicken.
Der letzte Jünger des Philosophen Dionysos
In seiner Auseinandersetzung mit biographischen Nietzsche-Interpretationen zeigt Hödl, dass Nietzsches Religionskritik nicht allein aus den negativen Erlebnissen der religiösen Sozialisation heraus verstanden werden kann. Die theoretischen Grundlagen von Nietzsches Religionskritik stellt der Autor im Überblick dar und arbeitet die Zielrichtung seiner Religionsphilosophie heraus. Diese ruht auf einer umfassenderen, ästhetisch begründeten Kulturphilosophie und zielt, nach der Destruktion des von den Religionen geprägten "Wesens", auf die Eröffnung eines Raumes für eine Neubestimmung des Menschen nach dem Ende des "alten Ideals". Nietzsches Bezugnahmen auf sich selbst sind zunächst nicht "biographisch", sondern im Kontext dieses systematischen Anliegens zu interpretieren.
Buddhist Inclusivism
Although Christians have well-developed responses to other religions, the counterpart scholarship from Buddhists has thus far lagged behind. Breaking new ground, Buddhist Inclusivism analyzes the currently favored position towards religious others, inclusivism, in Buddhist traditions. Kristin Beise Kiblinger presents examples of inclusivism from a wide range of Buddhist contexts and periods, from Pali texts to the Dalai Lama's recent works. After constructing and defending a preferred, alternative form of Buddhist inclusivism, she evaluates the thought of particular contemporary Buddhists such as Thich Nhat Hanh and Masao Abe in light of her ideal position. This book offers a more systematic treatment of Buddhist inclusivism than has yet been provided either by scholars or by Buddhist leaders.
New Approaches to the Study of Religion: Regional, critical, and historical approaches
Internationally recognized scholars from many parts of the world provide a critical survey of recent developments and achievements in the global field of religious studies. The work follows in the footsteps of two former publications: Classical Approaches to the Study of Religion, edited by Jacques Waardenburg (1973), and Contemporary Approaches to the Study of Religion, edited by Frank Whaling (1984/85). New Approaches to the Study of Religion completes the survey of the comparative study of religion in the twentieth century by focussing on the past two decades. Many of the chapters, however, are also pathbreaking and point the way to future approaches.
