Nietzsche’s philosophical analysis of our culture has had more consequences than most others. In these writings Nietzsche focused his attention particularly on the validity and effect of scientific endeavour. Science in its classical sense – encompassing natural and social sciences, philosophy and the arts – is seen as a cultural discipline central to modern human life, but one that is problematic and has far-reaching consequences. This volume is the first to bring together Nietzsche scholars and philosophers of science from all over the world to focus upon the problem of science. Wissenschaft ist eine der wichtigsten und einflussreichsten Eigentümlichkeiten der modernen Kultur. Nietzsches Philosophie zählt zu den bemerkenswertesten intellektuellen Auseinandersetzungen mit dieser modernen Kultur. Dabei hat er auch auf den Geltungscharak-ter und die Wirkung von Wissenschaft besonderes Augenmerk gerichtet. Dieser Band bringt erstmals Nietzsche-Forscher und Wissenschaftstheoretiker aus aller Welt zusammen, um Nietzsches Wissenschaftsphilosophie in umfassendem Zusammenhang anhand von vier thematischen Feldern zu behandeln. 1. Aktualität: Was trägt Nietzsche zu einem gegenwärti-gen Verständnis der Wissenschaften bei? 2. Rezeption: Welche Wirkung entfaltete Nietzsche in der Philosophie der Natur-, Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts? 3. Inhalt: Worin bestehen die zentralen Überlegungen Nietzsches zum 'Problem der Wissenschaft'? 4. Kontext: Welche Rolle spielen Nietzsches Lektüren und seine Auseinandersetzung mit den Wissenschaften seiner Zeit? Mit Beiträgen von Günter Abel, Babette Babich, Ronald Giere, Richard Schacht, Paul van Tongeren und vielen mehr.

It includes translations of important works from European scholars that were previously unavailable in English and incorporates the major topics and approaches of contemporary scholarship. Here is an essential book for students and scholars alike. "Students of the Pre-Socratics must be grateful to Mourelatos and his publishers for making these essays available to a wider public."--T. H. Irwin, American Journal of Philology "Mourelatos is a superb editor, and teaching Pre-Socratics in the future with this collection on the reading list will not only be easier but also better."--Jorgen Mejer, The Classical World "The editor has done his work judiciously. It would be difficult to devise a better balance between different parts of the subject."--Edward Hussey, Archives internationales d'histoire des sciences "[This book] will undoubtedly become an indispensable aid for beginning and advanced students of the Pre-Socratics."--David E.
