Alcyone by Gary Shapiro

In the final chapter, Shapiro undertakes a reading of the classical texts presupposed by Nietzsche's claim that Zarathustra will not be understood unless one hears its "halcyon tone." By juxtaposing Nietzsche's halcyon with the Homeric version of the myth, Shapiro shows how Nietzsche's appeal to the halcyon evokes a premetaphysical economy and a voice suppressed by ontotheology.

Gary Shapiro is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Richmond. He is the editor of After the Future: Postmodern Times and Places, also published by SUNY Press. Dr. Shapiro is also the author of Nietzschean Narratives and co-editor of Hermeneutics: Questions and Prospects.
