Nietzsche & the Metaphysics of the Tragic

In this major new work, Nuno Nabais, a leading figure in Nietzsche Studies, provides a cogent survey of the development of Nietzsche's thought, investigating the importance of tragedy in the evolution of Nietzsche's thinking and how a crucial reinscription of the Stoics would come to play a central role in his philosophy. Nabais explores the differences between the theory of the sublime in the thought of Nietzsche, Kant and Schopenhauer, concentrating, in particular, on the problem of individuality and the conception of necessity in Nietzsche.

Nuno Nabais is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Lisbon, Portugal
