Poellner, Peter - Nietzsche and Metaphysics

This book offers a critical interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's thought on two traditionally central disciplines of philosophy: epistemology and metaphysics. It will confine its field of study largely to what is perhaps not entirely appropriately called Nietzsche's 'mature' philosophy, which is contained in his writings produced after 1882, that is, in the third and final major phase of his philosophical career.¹ It is during this period that he developed most of the ideas which are usually associated with his name and for which he is best known.
