SPECIAL - 25% OFF DISCOUNT ON JILL MARSDEN'S
After Nietzsche: Notes Towards a Philosophy of Ecstasy
The Nietzsche Circle (NC) normally reserves the discount offers it receives from publishers to its members but would now like to share this special offer with the entire Nietzsche community. We think Marsden's book is one of the most important books on Nietzsche of the decade but it has received little attention. Nietzsche scholar and advisor to the NC Keith Ansell-Pearson on Marsden:
"Jill Marsden is a free spirit in the world of Nietzsche-studies,
paying obeisance to no one but herself and her passion for Nietzsche and belief in the possibilities of philosophy. In my view she has written one of the most interesting and thought-provoking books on Nietzsche of recent times; a work of beauty and sublimity, delicate and intricate, it has many riches. It is very fitting that a chapter of the book will appear in the Nietzsche Circle's journal The Agonist since it merits a wide readership well beyond the confines and constraints of the academy. This book belongs to the future, to a greater and nobler future than exists at present, and the Nietzsche Circle is delighted and honored to have the chance to publish an extract from it."
After Nietzsche: Notes Towards a Philosophy of Ecstasy
This book explores the imaginative possibilities for philosophy
created by Nietzsche's sustained reflection on the phenomenon of ecstasy. From The Birth of Tragedy to his experimental 'physiology of art', Nietzsche examines the aesthetic, erotic, and sacred dimensions of rapture, hinting at how an ecstatic philosophy is realized in his elusive doctrine of Eternal Return. Jill Marsden pursues the implications of this legacy for contemporary Continental thought via analyses of such voyages in ecstasy as those of Kant, Schopenhauer, Schreber and Bataille.

One thing above all is certain: these new duties are not the duties of a solitary; on the contrary, they set one in the midst of a mighty community held together, not by the external forms and regulations, but by a fundamental idea. It is the fundamental idea of culture, insofar as it sets for each one of us but one task: to promote the production of the philosopher, the artist and the saint within us and with out and thereby to work on the perfecting of nature.--Nietzsche, UM, "Schopenhauer as Educator" § 5
