This depiction of the problems and potential of modernity focuses on the modern self's desire to individuate whilst facing the ethical responsibility to integrate with the world: Nietzsche's drive for extraordinary individualism; Rousseau's call for the dependable citizen.
Rousseau and Nietzsche: Toward an Aesthetic Morality offers a vivid depiction of the problems and potential of modernity through the words of two of its most poignant voices. The book focuses upon the modern self''s desire to individuate while facing the ethical responsibility to integrate into the world. Katrin Froese elegantly juxtaposes Nietzsche''s drive for extraordinary individualism with Rousseau''s call for the dependable citizen, demonstrating that where Nietzsche''s aestheticism embraces the limitless and irreconcilable longings of a divided being, Rousseau''s approach emphasizes the imposition of limits to ensure that harmony and contentment prevail. Going beyond conventional scholarship, the work emphasizes the similarities at the heart of Rousseau''s notion of morality and Nietzsche''s aestheticism: the moral vision that underlies Nietzsche''s notion of art and the aesthetic understanding prevalent in Rousseau''s moral system. This stunning new work of political philosophy will be of great use to scholars of political thought and readers seeking to understand what made Rousseau and Nietzsche''s thought so decidedly modern.
