Nietzsche's Ever-Present Future
Nietzsche's Ever-Present Future

Summary/Abstract: Nietzsche is unique among historically significant philosophers in his conception of and emphasis on the future. In many of his later works, Nietzsche suggests that his focus and purpose is directed at both describing and bringing about a particular future condition. I will attempt here to defend two separate, through related, claims: First, any plausible account of Nietzsche's philosophical project will have to accommodate a likewise plausible account of Nietzsche's particular emphasis on the future. Second, we can read Nietzsche's understanding of the future as the organizing principle through which we can best interpret his later work.
