Nietzsche on War

In speaking about war, words matter. What would Nietzsche have said? Had Nietzsche directly focused his critical powers on the urgent questions concerning hostile, violent war, his interpretations of its destructive, corrosive nature would most likely have matched his critique of Christianity in substance and intensity.Prof. Peery offers new interpretations of NietzscheAA's ideas regarding power, values, nature, contrariety, and language, truth and deception, religion, experience, sexuality and sexual politics. She quotes extensively from his major works and consults relevant works from the pre-Socratics to the current President of Harvard University, Drew G. Faust.
