Nietzsche Now: Volume VI, Issues I & II, Spring Fall 2013

This issue of The Agonist centers on Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy, with a particular focus on eternal recurrence, time, and their implications for subjectivity, culture, and contemporary thought. The essays explore Nietzsche's major works-especially The Gay Science and Thus Spoke Zarathustra-through close textual analysis, historical context, and interdisciplinary engagement. Contributors examine themes such as parody, temporality, affirmation, and the critique of metaphysics, while also drawing connections to ancient philosophy, modern science, and posthuman theory. The issue moves beyond purely exegetical scholarship, using Nietzsche to rethink questions of cosmology, ethics, creativity, and human becoming. Overall, the volume presents Nietzsche as a living philosophical resource for confronting modern and postmodern concerns about meaning, repetition, and the future of humanity.
