| Summary: |
Nietzsche s metaphor of the spider that spins its cobweb expresses his critique of the metaphysical use of language - but it also suggests that we, spiders , are able to spin different, life-affirming, non-metaphysical cobwebs. This book focuses not only on Nietzsche s critique of the metaphysical assumptions of language, but also on his effort to use language in a different way, i.e., to create a new language. It is from this viewpoint that the book considers such themes as consciousness, the self, metaphor, instinct, affectivity, style, morality, truth, and knowledge. |
