Description
Author Bio

Malcolm Bull offers a detailed analysis of nihilism in Nietzsche's works. Along with accompanying commentaries by Cascardi and Clark, he explores the significance of Nietzscheís views given the fact that a wide range of readers have come to embrace his ideas as new orthodoxy. There seem to be no anti-Nietzscheans today, but Bull demonstrates that this wide embrace of Nietzsche runs counter to the very meaning of nihilism as Nietzsche understood it.

Malcolm Bull teaches at Oxford University's Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art. The author of The Mirror of the Gods: Classical Mythology in Renaissance Art and Anti-Nietzsche, he has also published extensively in philosophy and the social sciences. Anthony J. Cascardi is Sidney and Margaret Ancker Chair in Comparative Literature, Rhetoric, and Spanish at the University of California, Berkeley. T.J. Clark is George C. and Helen N. Pardee Professor of Modern Art at the University of California, Berkeley.
