{"product_id":"nietzsche-as-stylist","title":"Nietzsche as Stylist","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough he had a short career, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was a prolific writer, publishing seventeen books in the span of seventeen years. Convinced that “style must live,” he focused obsessively on a wide variety of factors that could potentially affect readers’ uptake of his work, from the craft of preface writing to punctuation choices to the aesthetics of book jackets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNietzsche as Stylist\u003c\/em\u003e traces the emergence of the philosopher’s idiosyncratic writing style as he experimented with various rhetorical approaches. Introducing a contextual and historical sensibility to readings of Nietzsche’s published and unpublished works – as well as his correspondence, his journal entries, and other documents he interacted with, such as reviews of his work – the book highlights how Nietzsche’s style evolved in relation to his life and world. Martine Béland situates his writings within contemporaneous debates about the professionalization of academia: by resisting what he felt was an anti-philosophical climate, Nietzsche developed a synesthetic and performative style, hoping that his philosophical ideas could engage diverse readers in multiple ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough careful stylistic and contextual analysis, \u003cem\u003eNietzsche as Stylist\u003c\/em\u003e explores how Nietzsche cultivated skills as a rhetorician and a writer to bring philosophy into a wider field of attention, thought, and experience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57297150378328,"sku":"9780228021117","price":38.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780228021117.jpg?v=1778833875","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/nietzsche-as-stylist","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
