Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche: The Philosopher of the Second Reich: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche: The Philosopher of the Second Reich" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

When careful consideration is given to Nietzsches critique of Platonism and to what he wrote about Bismarck, Kaiser Wilhelm, and to Germanys place in international relations (die Groe Politik), the philosophers carefully cultivated pose of untimeliness is revealed to be an imposture. As William H. F. Altman demonstrates, Nietzsche should be recognized as the paradigmatic philosopher of the Second Reich, the short-lived and equally complex German Empire that vanished in World War One. Since Nietzsche is a brilliant stylist whose seemingly disconnected aphorisms have made him notoriously difficult for scholars to analyze, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche is presented in Nietzsches own style in a series of 155 brief sections arranged in five discrete Books, a structure modeled on Daybreak. All of Nietzsches books are considered in the context of the close and revealing relationship between Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (named by his patriotic father after the King of Prussia) and the Second Reich. In Preface to A German Trilogy, Altman joins this book to two others already published by Lexington Books: Martin Heidegger and the First World War: Being and Time as Funeral Oration and The German Stranger: Leo Strauss and National Socialism.

About the Author

Having been persuaded by Platos Republic that justice requires the philosopher to go back down into the Cave, Will Altman has devoted his professional life to the cause of public education, currently as a Latin and world history teacher at E. C. Glass High School in Lynchburg, Virginia. Born in Washington, D.C., where he was educated at the Sidwell Friends School, and with degrees in philosophy from Wesleyan University, University of Toronto, and the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, he has been a public high school teacher in Vermont, California, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Virginia, and has taught social studies, history, philosophy, English, drama, and Latin as well as offering extra-curricular instruction in Ancient Greek. He began publishing scholarly articles in philosophy, intellectual history, and classics in 2007; his Plato the Teacher: The Crisis of the Republic, first part of a three-volume study of the reading order of Platos dialogues, was published by Lexington Books in 2012. With the publication of Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, he completes A German Trilogy, including Martin Heidegger and the First World War: Being and Time as Funeral Oration (Lexington, 2012) and The German Stranger: Leo Strauss and National Socialism (Lexington, 2011).
