The essays collected in this volume are selected papers from the 7th
Annual Conference of the Friedrich Nietzsche Society, which was held at
the University of St Andrews in September 1997. The three distinct but
related issues examined in this book are centrally important to the
search for Nietzsche's intellectual and cultural roots. The first
concerns Nietzsche's attitudes to his German cultural tradition, the
second is Nietzsche's view of his German present, and the final issue
is the extent to which dealing with Nietzsche and his legacies has
itself become a tradition since his death in 1900. Implicitly or
explicitly, the contributors reveal Nietzsche's ambivalent, double-
edged attitude to tradition. All the essays collected here take account
of the latest developments in Nietzsche scholarship and, together, make
an important contribution both to understanding the ways in which
Nietzsche problematises tradition and to recognising the difficulties,
and opportunities, arising from the Nietzschean tradition(s) of the
last hundred years.
