Nietzsche's Critiques: The Kantian Foundations of His Thought

by R. Kevin Hill

Overview

Kevin Hill presents a highly original study of Nietzsche's thought, the first book to examine in detail his debt to the work of Kant. Hill argues that Nietzsche is a systematic philosopher who knew Kant far better than is commonly thought, and that he can only be properly understood in relation to him. Nietzsche's Critiques will be of great value to scholars and students with interests in either of these philosophical giants, or in the history of ideas generally.

Editorial Reviews

"Hill's book is to be recommended for its clear expositions of the Critiques, for the information it provides concerning Nietzsche's actual reading of Kant, and for its provocative interpretation of Nietzsche's debt to Kant. It does much to open the way to new hypotheses concerning Nietzsche's Kantianism."—Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
