Nietzsche wrote in a scientific culture transformed by Darwin. He read extensively in German and British Darwinists, and his own works dealt often with such obvious Darwinian themes as struggle and evolution. Yet most of what Nietzsche said about Darwin was hostile: he sharply attacked many of his ideas, and often slurred Darwin himself as "mediocre." So most readers of Nietzsche have inferred that he must have cast Darwin quite aside. But in fact, John Richardson argues, Nietzsche was deeply and pervasively influenced by Darwin. He stressed his disagreements, but was silent about several core points he took over from Darwin. Moreover, Richardson claims, these Darwinian borrowings were to Nietzsche's credit: when we bring them to the surface we discover his positions to be much stronger than we had thought. Even Nietzsche's radical innovations are more plausible when we expose their Darwinian ground; we see that they amount to a "new Darwinism." The book's four chapters show how four of Nietzsche's most problematic ideas benefit from this Darwinian setting. These are: his claim that life is "will to power," his insistence that his values are "higher" yet also "just his," his disturbing ethics of selfishness and politics of inequality, and his elevation of aesthetic over moral values. Richardson argues that each of these Nietzschean ideas has a clearer and stronger sense when set on the scientific ground he takes from Darwin. Review: "This lucid and closely argued book offers an infinitely more rewarding approach to Nietzsche than the once fashionable postmodernism."--Laird M. Easton, German Studies Review

Je souscris au jeu de mots de Marcel Duchamp qui diagnostique l'état de santé du cinéma avec cette belle jonglerie anagrammatique : Anemic cinema... Egotisme de réalisateurs fêlés, narcissisme d'une époque veule, messe d'une nouvelle religion commerciale, divertissement bas de gamme, trivialité généralisée, on n'en finirait pas de lister les symptômes de ce qui avilit cet art majeur. Un diagnostic semblable pourrait être posé sur la philosophie et sa pitoyable santé entre l'inceste universitaire abscons et la prostitution journalistique de coups éditoriaux. Une piste, parmi d'autres, permettrait d'envisager une double thérapie : la biographie philosophique filmée. On y montrerait une vie philosophique à l'œuvre, autrement dit, le contraire d'un discours de professeur ou d'un barbouillage de normalien. A cette aune, les imposteurs et les escrocs tombent vite le masque. Voici la proposition d'un scénario pour un film qui montrerait, entre autres exemples, combien la vie de Nietzsche témoigne d'une pensée vécue.
