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\n\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 Introducing a contextual and historical sensibility to readings of Nietzsche’s published and unpublished works – as well as his correspondence, his journal entries, and other documents he interacted with, such as reviews of his work – the book highlights how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\n\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\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55110058475894,"sku":"9780228021117","price":29.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_38937855.jpg?v=1767183699","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780228021117-nietzsche-as-stylist","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
