We have Nietzsche to thank for some of the most important
accomplishments in intellectual history, but as Gary Shapiro shows in
this unique look at Nietzsche’s thought, the nineteenth-century
philosopher actually anticipated some of the most pressing questions of
our own era. Putting Nietzsche into conversation with contemporary
philosophers such as Deleuze, Agamben, Foucault, Derrida, and others,
Shapiro links Nietzsche’s powerful ideas to topics that are very much on
the contemporary agenda: globalization, the nature of the livable earth,
and the geopolitical categories that characterize people and places.
           
Shapiro explores Nietzsche’s rejection of historical inevitability and
its idea of the end of history. He highlights Nietzsche’s prescient
vision of today’s massive human mobility and his criticism of the nation
state’s desperate efforts to sustain its exclusive rule by declaring
emergencies and states of exception. Shapiro then explores Nietzsche’s
vision of a transformed garden earth and the ways it sketches an
aesthetic of the Anthropocene. He concludes with an explanation of the
deep political structure of Nietzsche’s “philosophy of the Antichrist,”
by relating it to traditional political theology. By triangulating
Nietzsche between his time and ours, between Bismarck’s Germany and
post-9/11 America, /Nietzsche’s Earth /invites readers to rethink not
just the philosopher himself but the very direction of human history.
