Description
The book emphasises the affinity between Foucault's and Nietzsche's thought.
Both philosophers tried to give clarity to modernity's arbitrary nature.
Following on from Foucault's diagnostic enquiries into a 'History of Sexuality' and Nietzsche's appreciation of ancient culture, Nilson's study shows a practical consequence: the self-stylization of the individual.
This aesthetical attitude replaces belief in metaphysical and even scientific meaning, thus leading to a philosophy-of-life.
Nilson's book targets all those who wish to give their life a unique form.
