Joós, Ernest
Poetic Truth and Transvaluation in Nietzsche's Zarathustra.

A Hermeneutic Study.

The author wants to view Nietzsche as a poet. He opposes the universality of abstract truth to the poetic truth which is the incarnation of the absolute in the concrete and valid only as meaning in a particular context. A large part of the book is devoted to the application of this theory, hence the book is both a hermeneutic study and a practical guide for the interpretation of Nietzsche's controversial topics such as the Death of God, marriage, life and death, or - woman and the Superman (Übermensch). Part Three deals with Hermeneutics and Metaphysics, then with Heidegger, Nietzsche and Metaphysics. XIX,180 Seiten, broschiert (American University Studies.
