Nietzsche: Morality and Politics

In this thesis, I seek to explain Nietzsche political ideas by examining them together with his philosophy of morality. Nietzscheb s status as a political thinker is highly controversial. Some have considered him anti-political while others have argued that he is apolitical. Still others argue that his philosophy cannot be seen as bereft of political concerns. Those who see a political dimension to his philosophy are also in disagreement over his political position. He has been appropriated by ideological positions of all stripes despite obvious textual difficulty. My intention here is simply to explain his political ideas in light of this disagreement.
