Elijah Millgram (E. E. Ericksen Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, E. E. Ericksen Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of Utah): Why Didn't Nietzsche Get His Act Together?
Friedrich Nietzsche did his philosophizing while he was coming apart at the seams. His writing is disorienting for readers because he was all over the place when he produced it. But Nietzsche's philosophy is about coming apart at the seams and being all over the place, and it is a philosophy meant to cope with that predicament--which makes it both fascinating and important. Elijah Millgram provides a new way of reading Nietzsche through this insight. Nietzsche not only recommended that you invent values for yourself; his books show you how it is done, and what it is to make a value you invent into the meaning of your life.
