"An ambitious venture into Nietzsche's envisioned philosophy for the future.

Nietzsche advocated for a post-theistic ""philosophy of the future""—a new approach to human reality that would bend Western thought away from nihilism in a life-affirming, value-creative direction. His early demise left this endeavor only just begun. In Nietzsche Pursued, Richard Schacht examines Nietzsche's revisionist approach to familiar philosophical topics, exploring how some may be further pursued in Nietzschean ways.

Each chapter focuses on one topic that is central to Nietzsche's vision of what philosophy can and should be and do. Among them: his kind of naturalism, humanity, perspectivism, morality, and music. Building on his analysis in Nietzsche's Kind of Philosophy, Schacht invites readers to see with new appreciation the ongoing significance of Nietzsche's thought for philosophy's future."

Reviews for Nietzsche Pursued: Toward a Philosophy for the Future

“Schacht’s long-standing and important thesis concerning Nietzsche’s naturalism is brought to fruition in this book. Nietzsche Pursued offers an invaluable, enriching, and superbly argued sequence of engagements with this extremely important thinker. This is an outstanding and original contribution to the field of Nietzsche studies by one of its most notable scholars.” -- Peter R. Sedgwick, Cardiff University “The future of humanity is Nietzsche’s central concern. Nietzsche Pursued addresses current debates in innovative and inspiring ways, proposing nuanced solutions beyond established dichotomies such as moralism versus nihilism, essentialism versus perspectivism, and naturalism versus humanism. Schacht’s artful way of making sense of Nietzsche draws on a life’s work of exceptional scholarship and walks a virtuous tightrope between false alternatives.” -- Helmut Heit, director of the Kolleg Friedrich Nietzsche, Weimar
