---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------1. Title: Nietzsche and the Will to Politics Author(s): Ruth Abbey, Fredrick Appel Source: The Review of Politics, Vol. 60, No. 1 (Winter, 1998), pp. 83-114 Publisher(s): Cambridge University Press for the University of Notre Dame du lac on behalf of Review of Politics Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1408331 Abstract: This article moves on two fronts. It continues the challenge to the belief that politics is not central to the concerns of Friedrich Nietzsche but questions attempts to transvalue Nietzsche into a democrat. With their illiberal and inegalitarian political views, Nietzsche's writings best serve democratic political theory in an antidotal way. The article discusses Nietzsche's aesthetic approach to political action and architectonic conception of politics. It also explores some of the qualities he believes future rulers would need and the mechanisms they could use to exercise and legitimate their power. Just as Nietzsche thinks of political action in aesthetic terms, so his own art has a political purpose for he envisages the formation of a social, cultural and political lite and hopes, through his writings, to galvanize this lite. 2. Title: Nietzsche's Ethics of History Author(s): Peter Berkowitz Source: The Review of Politics, Vol. 56, No. 1 (Winter, 1994), pp. 5-27 Publisher(s): Cambridge University Press for the University of Notre Dame du lac on behalf of Review of Politics Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1407565 Abstract: In "On the Uses and Disadvantages of History for Life" Nietzsche sets forth prescriptions for placing history in the service of human excellence. Nietzsche's prescriptions are based on a substantive metaphysical doctrine and a definite conception of human needs and capacities. Contrary to the dominant trends in recent scholarship that depict Nietzsche as primarily a teacher of antifoundationalism, historicism, and perspectivism, in his major thematic statement on the matter Nietzsche views history as a means to discover and to display nonhistorical and enduring knowledge about human nature and the rank order of desires, human types, and forms of life. For Nietzsche, the task of the "genuine historian" is nothing less than the transformation of history into poetry in the effort to defend wisdom, to distinguish nobility from baseness, and to establish the love of truth as a resplendent vice and noble faith. Nietzsche's account of the right use of history suggests an underappreciated unity in his writings by raising the possibility that in his several histories Nietzsche wrote from the perspective, and assumed the responsibility, of the genuine historian. 3.

Abstract: Contemporary theorists critical of the current vogue for compassion might like to turn to Friedrich Nietzsche as an obvious ally in their opposition to the sentiment. Yet this essay argues that Nietzsche's critique of compassion is not entirely critical, and that the endorsement of one's sympathetic feelings is actually a natural outgrowth of Nietzsche's immoralist ethics. Nietzsche understands the tendency to share in the suffering of their inferiors as a distinctive vulnerability of the spiritually strong and healthy. Their compassion, however, is an essential element of the imaginative creativity that Nietzsche holds to be the goal of human existence. Although shared suffering may prove debilitating for some, great individuals must come to affirm their compassion as necessary in achieving accurate knowledge of the human condition. 4. Title: Nietzsche's Napoleon: The Higher Man as Political Actor Author(s): Paul F. Glenn Source: The Review of Politics, Vol. 63, No. 1 (Winter, 2001), pp. 129-158 Publisher(s): Cambridge University Press for the University of Notre Dame du lac on behalf of Review of Politics Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1408381 Abstract: Nietzsche's concept of the higher man is often seen as vague. The article adds concreteness to the concept by studying an example of a higher man, Napoleon. Napoleon embodied power and spiritual health, and was therefore an admirable person. By looking at Nietzsche's description of Napoleon as an artist, we also gain insight into the higher man as a political actor: he uses the public arena as the medium on which he practices his art. In doing so, he presents himself as a exemplar of humanity, inspiring others to seek their own path to excellence. By studying this, we gain important insight into Nietzsche's political teaching. But Nietzsche's account of Napoleon is not one-sided: he also describes Napoleon's corruption. The fall of a higher man is both a warning of the dangers of the political realm, and a reminder that sickness and health are closely connected. Even the mightiest individual is fragile. 5. Title: Nietzsche's "Human, All Too Human" and the Problem of Culture Author(s): Paul Franco Source: The Review of Politics, Vol. 69, No. 2 (Spring, 2007), pp. 215-243 Publisher(s): Cambridge University Press for the University of Notre Dame du lac on behalf of Review of Politics Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/20452876 Abstract: "Human, All Too Human" has received less critical attention than many of Nietzsche's other works, and yet it constitutes a crucial turning point in Nietzsche's overall philosophical development. This essay argues that the problem of culture that had preoccupied Nietzsche in his earlier works continues to animate his thinking in "Human, All Too Human," but his position on this problem changes fundamentally. Instead of attributing the fragmentation of modern culture to the uncontrolled growth of science and looking to art and myth to restore cultural unity, Nietzsche now explores the possibility of grounding culture on scientific knowledge. This new concept of culture requires a critique of the Wagnerian romantic-artistic cultural project, which Nietzsche reveals rests on erroneous religious, moral, and ultimately metaphysical assumptions. The radical critique of these latter assumptions forms a bridge to Nietzsche's mature philosophy. 6. Title: Nietzsche's Honest Masks: From Truth to Nobility "Beyond Good and Evil" Author(s): Paul E. Kirkland Source: The Review of Politics, Vol. 66, No. 4 (Autumn, 2004), pp. 575-604 Publisher(s): Cambridge University Press for the University of Notre Dame du lac on behalf of Review of Politics Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/4149163 Abstract: This article argues that Nietzsche uses a rhetorically modern appeal to enact the selfovercoming of modernity and the aim of enlightenment. It demonstrates how Nietzsche aims to move his readers from a prejudice in favor of truthfulness, by appearing to radicalize that aim, to a new measure of nobility. In contrast to some who present Nietzsche's styles as the means to convey a dispersion of

meanings, this article argues that, designs his writing to move his age. He adopts the prejudices of his time in "Beyond Good and Evil", his mature "critique of modernity" in order to demonstrate the selfovercoming of those prejudices. Beyond merely questioning the value of truth, Nietzsche evaluates by the measure of psychological strength, and describes the character of nobility beyond good and evil and beyond truth and falsity. 7. Title: Politics versus Aesthetics: Arendt's Critiques of Nietzsche and Heidegger Author(s): Lawrence J. Biskowski Source: The Review of Politics, Vol. 57, No. 1 (Winter, 1995), pp. 59-89 Publisher(s): Cambridge University Press for the University of Notre Dame du lac on behalf of Review of Politics Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1408574 Abstract: Several recent commentaries on Hannah Arendt's political thought have suggested strong connections and affinities between Arendt and Nietzsche or between Arendt and various later Nietzschean, aestheticist, or postmodernist thinkers. But a close reading of Arendt's critiques of Nietzsche and Heidegger suggests that an overemphasis on the more Nietzschean or aesthetic aspects of Arendt's work risks obscuring some vital distinctions Arendt makes or preserves concerning politics and aesthetics. More significantly, the Nietzschean or aestheticist interpretation of Arendt tends to conceal or distort Arendt's actual, highly original, and more promising response to various facets of the modern political condition. 8.

Title: Rorty's Nietzschean Pragmatism: A Jamesian Response Author(s): Jason M. Boffetti Source: The Review of Politics, Vol. 66, No. 4 (Autumn, 2004), pp. 605-631 Publisher(s): Cambridge University Press for the University of Notre Dame du lac on behalf of Review of Politics Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/4149164 Abstract: Richard Rorty makes the case that Friedrich Nietzsche shared a common pragmatism with William James in order to incorporate certain Nietzschean themes into neo-pragmatism and to give his philosophy stronger pragmatic credentials. In making this connection, he establishes a version of pragmatism that rejects both epistemology and metaphysics, reduces the pragmatic theory of truth to "truth is what works," places the Darwinian account of man at the center of the human narrative, and makes Nietzschean "self-creation" the chief end of a postmodern, post-religious liberal society. But if one reads James more faithfully (a task that Rorty rejects), it is clear that James does not succumb to the nihilism, perspectivalism, and atheism characteristic of Rorty's Nietzschean pragmatism. A more comprehensive reading of James's philosophy brings together James's pragmatism, his pluralism, and his radical empiricism. And this more complete interpretation of James's pragmatism offers a pluralistic and hopeful approach to politics that does not suffer from Nietzsche's and Rorty's nihilistic, relativistic, and antipolitical tendencies. 17.

18. Title: Martin Heidegger and the University as a Site for the Transformation of Human Existence Author(s): Alan Milchman, Alan Rosenberg Source: The Review of Politics, Vol. 59, No. 1 (Winter, 1997), pp. 75-96 Publisher(s): Cambridge University Press for the University of Notre Dame du lac on behalf of Review of Politics Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1408118 Abstract: Martin Heidegger's rectorate (1933-1934) was characterized by an incontestable involvement with Nazism. However, neither the rectorate, nor Heidegger's ambitious project for the transformation of the university within which it was embedded, was reducible to Nazism. Indeed, Heidegger's project to transform the university dates from his earliest lecture courses at Freiburg University in 1919 and was a hallmark of his thinking long before the rise of Nazism. That project was itself linked to the long-standing dispute in German academia over the role of the university in the modern world, which involved such thinkers as Kant, Schelling, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche. Despite the entanglement with Nazism, which stamped his rectorate, Heidegger's thinking about the university as a site for the transformation of human existence is especially pertinent today. 19.

24. Title: Standing "Aloof" from the State: Thoreau on Self-Government Author(s): Ruth Lane Source: The Review of Politics, Vol. 67, No. 2 (Spring, 2005), pp. 283-310 Publisher(s): Cambridge University Press for the University of Notre Dame du lac on behalf of Review of Politics Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/25046412 Abstract: Long an icon of the American cultural tradition, Henry Thoreau has recently been welcomed into political theory as a theorist whose political writings go beyond the essays on resistance to government, and contain ideas deeply important for understanding the American contribution to democratic experience. I extend this new appreciation by showing how Thoreau presents a specific model of selfgovernment, individual self-government, that occurs under the frequently irrelevant roof provided by liberal democratic state institutions. Thoreau's model of self-government imagines women and men who are largely free of, or indifferent to, the state; but fully involved in an everyday experience that is deeply political because it allocates values for the individual. Walden is, in this sense, less an escape from government than it is an escape to it. Thoreau spans the spectrum of political philosophy, from Socrates' concern with justice in the individual, to Nietzsche's model of the self as a governable community, but Thoreau's work is unique, and distinctively American, in its model of a hard-headed individual selfgovernment based upon an unsentimentalized natural world. 25. Title: Rethinking Secularism (With Raimon Panikkar) Author(s): Fred Dallmayr Source: The Review of Politics, Vol. 61, No. 4, Christianity and Politics: Millennial Issue I (Autumn, 1999), pp. 715-735 Publisher(s): Cambridge University Press for the University of Notre Dame du lac on behalf of Review of Politics Stable URL: http://www.jstor.org/stable/1408405 Abstract: More than a century after Nietzsche's proclamation of the "death of God," some recent books speak alarmingly of "the revenge of God" and the prospect of a "new cold war"-a conflict pitting religious "fundamentalists" against agnostic secularists on a worldwide scale. Remembering the cultural struggles of nineteenth-century Europe, one might say that today Kulturkampf has been globalized. At this juncture it seems timely to reexamine the meaning of secularism and secularization and their relation to religious faith. This article explores dimensions of the issue against the backdrop of the pervasive secularizing tendencies of (Western) modernity. While the opening section reviews the "secularization thesis" as advanced by prominent social scientists and social theorists, the second part turns to the work of one of the most influential philosophers of religion in our time, Raimon Panikkar, focusing chiefly on his views regarding the "secular" character of religion and the possibility of a "sacred secularity." Taking some cues from Panikkar, the concluding section reflects on the "religion of the future" and the "future of religion" in our globalizing world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------These records have been provided through JSTOR. http://www.jstor.org
