Nietzsche’s Philosophy of Education

<p>Nietzsche’s Philosophy of Education makes the case that Nietzsche’s ​philosophy has ​significant import for the theory and contemporary practice of education arguing that ​some of ​Nietzsche​'s most important ​ideas ​have been misunderstood by ​previous ​interpreters. ​In ​providing novel reinterpretations of ​Nietzsche's ​ethical theory political​ philosophy​ and philosophical anthropology ​and outlining concrete ways in which ​these ideas can enrich teaching and learning in modern democratic schools the book sets itself apart​ from previous works on Nietzsche​. This is one of the first ​extended engagements with Nietzsche’s philosophy ​which attempts to determine his true legacy for democratic education.</p><p>​In its engagement with both the vast secondary literature on Nietzsche's philosophy and the educational implications of his philosophical vision this book makes a unique contribution to both the philosophy of education and Nietzsche scholarship. In addition its ​development of four concrete pedagogi​cal approaches from Nietzsche's educational ideas ​makes the book a potentially helpful guide to meeting the practical challenges of ​contemporary teaching.</p><p>This book will be of great interest to Nietzsche scholars researchers in the philosophy of education and ​​students studying educational foundations.</p>
