Nietzsche and Metaphysics by Michel Haar

Rejecting the Deleuzian essay of interpretation that unleashes the simulacra of an untamed imagination, Haar points out that Nietzsche's rejection of Kant is much less extreme than imagined in Deleuze's eccentric readings. Haar also shows that the rupture with Schopenhauer came very early in Nietzsche's itinerary although he accepted the idea of a social conditioning of science. Haar shows that two Apollonian sublimities are distinguished by Nietzsche: one generating idyll, epos, and mythic language; the other a compensatory illusion on the dramatic stage destined to dismiss the horror of an endlessly swelling ground. It is this monstrosity that a creative forgetfulness is destined to replace by seeking a place for the work of art amidst tragic joy.

Michel Haar is the author of Heidegger and the Essence of Man, also published by SUNY Press. Michael Gendre is the translator and editor of Heidegger and the Project of Fundamental Ontology; Poetics, Speculation, and Judgment: The Shadow of the Work of Art from Kant to Phenomenology; and Heidegger from Metaphysics to Thought, all published by SUNY Press.
