Description
The aphoristic form causes difficulty, Nietzsche lamented in 1887, for today this form is not taken seriously enough. Over a century later, Nietzsche s Aphoristic Challenge offers the first book-length study in English devoted explicitly Nietzsche s aphoristic writings, including Human, All Too Human and The Gay Science. This literary-philosophical study argues that the function of the aphorism for Nietzsche changes over time, but throughout can best be understood, perhaps counter-intuitively, in terms of excess.
