About the Book

Nietzsche’s Naturalist Deconstruction of Truth: A World Fragmented in Late Nineteenth-Century Epistemology offers a new interpretation of Nietzsche’s discussions of truth and knowledge, covering the period from his early essay “On Truth and Lies in an Extra-Moral Sense” to his late notebooks. It places these discussions in the context of the neo-Kantian, Naturalist, Positivist, and Pragmatic schools influential in Nietzsche’s late nineteenth-century Europe. Peter Bornedal argues for a view of Nietzsche’s epistemological thought as an elaboration of this paradigm: proposing ideas that are anti-metaphysical and anti-theological in their polemic orientation, and in general promoting new scientific naturalist ideals in the discussions of knowledge. Bornedal suggests that the rational pursuit of these new ideals to the unencumbered mind logically leads to Nihilism in its most profound epistemological sense. Nietzsche’s “critique of metaphysics” is thus seen as having sprung from sources different from and, at times, in patent opposition to more recent postmodern and deconstructionist critiques. This book contextualizes Nietzsche in relation to a number of philosophical peers and juxtaposes him to contemporary thinkers in a way that resolves some of the difficulties that have plagued recent Nietzsche scholarship.

Review :
In Nietzsche’s Naturalist Deconstruction of Truth, Bornedal (American Univ., Beirut) extends the scope of his other recent contributions to Nietzsche scholarship by offering a reappraisal of Nietzsche’s "positivist period." Bornedal argues that this positivist period completes Nietzsche's philosophical odyssey, rounding off all of his longstanding concerns, for example the transvaluation of values. The author contends that Nietzsche's writings during this phase amount to a thoroughgoing revision of modernist epistemology, such that it encompasses the philosophy of science, ethics, and aesthetics. In this way, Nietzsche’s "affirmative nihilism" becomes worthy of the tasks of "first philosophy" (but free of the shadowy transcendental ego). . . Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty. This careful, informed and clear critique of the trendy deconstruction of Nietzsche's view of truth provides a serious defense of what Peter Bornedal describes as a broadly naturalist paradigm. Anyone with an interest in Nietzsche will profit by reading this book.
