Rodgers Nietzsche and the Task of Philosophy 1904 .txt text/plain 439 11 28 This dissertation is an attempt to reorient the study of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche around metaphilosophical questions: what is the proper task of philosophy, and, consequently, what relationship should philosophy bear to science? My thesis is that Nietzsche's conception of philosophy is intentionally revisionary – his work is an attempt to make philosophers reconceive themselves as creators of value, and to own up to and embrace the cultural significance of that task. cache/bk128912r0r.txt txt/bk128912r0r.txt
