Homo Natura. Nietzsche, Philosophical Anthropology and Biopolitics, Paperback

Description

Lemm offers an original reading of Nietzsche's enigmatic term homo natura that brings back the ancient Greek idea of nature and sexuality as creative chaos and of the philosophical life as outspoken and embodied truth, perhaps best exemplified by the cynics' embrace of social and cultural transformation.
