Nietzsche on Freedom, the Evolution of Language, and Social Epistemology (Mercer University Press, 2021) (original) (raw)

Nietzsche's ideas surrounding political choice and freedom have generated not only political upheaval though misinterpretation but also deep disagreements among scholars surrounding even the most basic of premises. I argue that Nietzsche is best understood as offering a form of political freedom though the careful use of language. I articulate a positive necessary consequent hidden within Nietzsche's philosophy that supports a democratic notion of political freedom. Nietzsche, however, actively tried to suppress it's realization.
