Descrição Keith Ansell-Pearsons book is an important and very welcome contribution to a neglected area of research: Nietzsches political thought. Nietzsche is widely regarded as a significant moral philosopher, but his political thinking has often been dismissed as either impossibly individualistic or dangerously totalitarian. Nietzsche contra Rousseau takes a serious look at Nietzsche as political thinker and relates his political ideas to the dominant traditions of modern political thought. In particular, the nature of Nietzsches dialogue with the philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau is examined, in order to demonstrate Rousseaus crucial role in Nietzsches understanding of modernity and its discontents.
