Essays on Schopenhauer and Nietzsche by Christopher Janaway
This book brings together fourteen essays by Christopher Janaway on the philosophy of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. They illuminate central philosophical issues in the work of these thinkers - the death of God, the meaning of existence, suffering, compassion, the will, Christian values, the affirmation or negation of life.
The book is a collection of pre-published essaysThe writing is extremely clear, the arguments elegantly constructed. Thanks to Janaway's background as a Germanist, the philological standard is unusually high. * Julian Young, The Society *
