Summary "The Paradox of Philosophical Education is an interpretation of Nietzsche's mature thought by J. Harvey Lomax, eminent Nietzsche scholar. Lomax reads religion and philosophy as counterpoints to poetry; as few others have done, he sets aside the anti-rationalist, nihilist Nietzsche and reveals him as a poet-philosopher in - and in conflict with - the Platonic and Socratic traditions. With thoughtful discussion and a passage-by-passage explication of chapters 1 and 2 of Beyond Good and Evil, Lomax becomes the first Nietzschean scholar to provide a coherent treatment of Nietzsche's work on nobility."--BOOK JACKET
