Nietzsche as Phenomenologist cover

Christine Daigle explores Nietzsche’s phenomenological method, a ‘wild phenomenology’, to elucidate his understanding of the human being as an intentional embodied consciousness, as a being-in-the-world and as a being-with-others. Establishing this phenomenological conception of the human allows Daigle to revisit the Nietzschean notions of free spirit and the Overhuman and how they express the ethical and cultural-political flourishing Nietzsche envisions for human beings.

Nietzsche as Phenomenologist offers a provocative reading of Nietzsche as a phenomenologist avant la lettre. Daigle makes a compelling case for a Nietzschean ‘wild phenomenology’ that anticipates Husserl’s philosophical framework and methodology. Her systematic reading challenges us to investigate consciousness and embodied subjectivity, ethics, and politics in Nietzsche through the lens of classical phenomenological concepts such as intentionality, being-in-the-world, and being-with-other. A refreshing addition to Nietzsche scholarship! -- Vanessa Lemm, Deakin University
