Summary: |
"Friedrich Nietzsche loved nature and his daily walks in the Swiss Mountains and by the Mediterranean Sea heavily influenced his philosophical work. By following the philosopher on these ramblings and reflecting on Zarathustra's (Nietzsche's alter ego) interactions with those he meets, Henk Manschot illustrates how these experiences were reflected in the philosopher's thinking on the relationship between human beings and the Earth. By engaging with his new concept of 'terrasophy', Manschot argues that Nietzsche's rejection of the disconnection between humans and their planet has particular relevance for a society facing unprecedented ecological challenges"-- |
