Books
I have published two books. I co-authored a monograph, Nietzsche's Dawn: Philosophy, Ethics, and the Passion of Knowledge, (Oxford: Wiley-Blackwell, 2020), and I edited a volume of essays, Nietzsche's Free Spirit Philosophy (London: Rowman & Littlefield International, 2015).
Co-Authored Monograph
Nietzsche's Dawn: Philosophy, Ethics, and the Passion of Knowledge (Oxford: Wiley-Blackwell, 2020).
This unique co-authored monograph explores Nietzsche’s philosophy at the time of Dawn’s writing and discusses the modern relevance of themes such as fear, superstition, terror, and moral and religious fanaticism. The authors highlight Dawn’s links with key areas of philosophical inquiry, such as “the art of living well,” skepticism, and naturalism.
The book begins by introducing Dawn and discussing how to read Nietzsche, his literary and philosophical influences, his relation to German philosophy, and his efforts to advance his ‘free spirit’ philosophy. Subsequent discussions address a wide range of topics, including presumptions of customary morality, hatred of the self, free-minded thinking, and embracing science and the passion of knowledge.
