20世纪中叶,法国知识界正在为马克思主义、存在主义和现象学争论不休的时候,德勒兹却为尼采的思想所痴迷。他在1962年发表的专著《尼采与哲学》突然搅乱法国知识界的神经,开启了法国的后现代主义之路。《尼采与哲学》不单有对尼采的严谨且系统的阐述,同时还糅入了作者富含创见和想象力的解释。解释,于德勒兹即是重复,以重复出新,以重复创造。他后来的许多革命性的思想,包括事件、差异、重复、生成、时间性等核心概念,都能在这部作品中找到萌芽。故此书不但可作为管窥尼采思想精髓的透镜,亦是深入了解德勒兹乃至后现代哲学的桥梁。
作者简介
吉尔·德勒兹(Gilles Deleuze,1925-1995),法国哲学家,1925年生于法国巴黎,1944年就读于索邦大学哲学系,1957年被任命为索邦大学教员,后来任教于里昂大学和巴黎第八大学,1987年退休。从20世纪50年代初到1995年去世,他写了大量关于哲学、文学、电影的文章。尽管他曾自称为“纯粹的形而上学家”,但他的作品影响了人文学科的各个领域,包括哲学、艺术和文学理论,以及后结构主义和后现代主义等思潮。
In the middle of the 20th century, when the French intelligentsia was debating Marxism, existentialism and phenomenology, Deleuze was fascinated by Nietzsche's ideas. His book Nietzsche and Philosophy, published in 1962, suddenly disturbed the nerves of the French intellectual community and opened the road of French postmodernism. Nietzsche and Philosophy is not only a rigorous and systematic account of Nietzsche, but also incorporates the author's creative and imaginative explanations. To explain, for Deleuze, is to repeat, to repeat new, to repeat creation. Many of his later revolutionary ideas, including the core concepts of event, difference, repetition, generation, and temporality, can be found in this work. Therefore, this book can not only be used as a lens to glimpse the essence of Nietzsche's thought, but also a bridge to understand Deleuze and even postmodern philosophy.
About the author
Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995), French philosopher, born in 1925 in Paris, France, studied philosophy at the Sorbonne University in 1944, was appointed a faculty member at the Sorbonne University in 1957, and later taught at the University of Lyon and University of Paris VIII, retiring in 1987. From the early 1950s until his death in 1995, he wrote extensively on philosophy, literature, and film. Although he once described himself as a "pure metaphysician," his work has influenced all areas of the humanities, including philosophy, art and literary theory, as well as trends such as post-structuralism and postmodernism.
