NIETZSCHE VERSUS PAUL

INSURRECTIONS: CRITICAL STUDIES IN RELIGION, POLITICS, AND CULTURE

INSURRECTIONS: CRITICAL STUDIES IN RELIGION, POLITICS, AND CULTURE

Slavoj iek, Clayton Crockett, Creston Davis, Jeffrey W. Robbins, Editors

The intersection of religion, politics, and culture is one of the most discussed areas in theory today. It also has the deepest and most wide-ranging impact on the world. Insurrections: Critical Studies in Religion, Politics, and Culture will bring the tools of philosophy and critical theory to the political implications of the religious turn. The series will address a range of religious traditions and political viewpoints in the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world. Without advocating any specific religious or theological stance, the series aims nonetheless to be faithful to the radical emancipatory potential of religion.

CONTENTS

During the several years I spent researching and writing this manuscript, I was surrounded by colleagues and friends who pushed this project toward its successful finalization each in his own way. I want to thank Adi Ophir for his stimulating responses and unceasing encouragement. I direct my thanks to Alfred Tauber for his extraordinary support and insightful notes on an earlier version of this manuscript. I am also tremendously thankful to Oded Schechter for his reading of the major parts of the manuscript and the countless conversations from which I learned enormously. Special thanks to Judith Butler for her generous and attentive reading of the manuscript. Also thanks to CUPs two anonymous readers for their thoughtful notes which left their stamp on the last version of this book.

I was lucky for being granted the help, support, advice, notes, and thoughts of all those who led the early versions of this manuscript to wear the form of this book. My distinctive thanks go to Amnon Raz-Krakotzkin, Christiane Aurich, Christoph Schmidt, Eliav Brand, Georges Khalil, Gideon Freudenthal, Kamal Aljafari, Samah Selim, Samera Esmeir, Uta Ruge, Yizhak Melamed, and Yossef Schwartz.

In a letter from 1885, Nietzsche himself recognized the difficulties involved in the question about the identity of the essential-Nietzsche and suggested to hand this question over to time and wait until some genius in Socratic knowledge might appear and be able to unearth Mr. F. N. I do not intend in the present work to claim for myself the genius that Nietzsche himself did not own. Rather, I shall turn precisely to explaining how the knowledge of the essential-Nietzsche, or the knowledge of Nietzsches will to truth/illusion, is impossible, insofar as Nietzsches way to it cannot reveal it. Nietzsche Versus Paul is a study of the Christian embrace of Nietzsches sought-after truth that ends in its obliteration.

Deleuze responded thus to Heideggers interpretation of Nietzsche: The eternal return is as badly misunderstood as the will to power. [and] every time we interpret the eternal return as the return of the identical or the same, we replace Nietzsches thought with childish hypotheses. While Heidegger locates Nietzsche at the bosom of the negative term of Platonic metaphysics, Deleuze locates him at the other edge of philosophy. For Deleuze, the essence of Nietzsches philosophy is the affirmation of difference: What a will wants is to affirm its difference. In its essential relation with the other a will makes its difference an object of affirmation. Nietzsches philosophy, for Deleuze, forms an absolute anti-dialectics. And if this philosophy does come to occupy the negative standpoint of the Hegelian dialectics, it does so only through the great polemical range it has. The fact that otherness brings difference closer to negative dialectics does not imply that difference should necessarily become reactive. For, the will to power is not force but the differential element which simultaneously determines the relation of forces (quantity) and the respective qualities of related forces. It is in this element of difference that affirmation manifests itself and develops itself as creative.
