This volume is a popular presentation of Nietzsche"s thought. Hoover"s analysis comes from the viewpoint of a Christian operating within a Thomist framework. An early chapter focuses on Nietzsche"s life; the following chapters weave autobiographical materials into the treatment of his philosophical system, showing the close relationship between his life and thought. Hoover"s study includes an analysis of Nietzsche"s perspectivism, his contribution to propaganda theory, the demonstration of a deep and fundamental contradiction in his epistemology, and an analysis of his critique of anti-body idealism.
