"Beautifully written and bursting with spirit, How to Read Like a Parasite is destined to be vital reading." - Matthew McManus, author of Nietzsche and the Politics of Reaction
How
to Read Like a Parasite is a critical
guide for the left, showing how to overcome Nietzsche's divisive influence and
avoid falling prey to his reactionary politics.
Key
insights include:
- A
thorough critique of the popular, apolitical interpretation of Nietzsche's
philosophy
-
Analysis of core Nietzschean concepts like perspectivism, ressentiment, and the
eternal return
-
Historical context of Nietzsche's life and works, revealing a sophisticated
reactionary political vision at the heart of his ideas
-
Case studies of prominent left-Nietzscheans, including Jack London, Gilles
Deleuze, Wendy Brown, and Huey Newton
This
book provides a clear path for the left to read and engage with Nietzsche
without adopting his harmful ideological underpinnings.
