- More about What a Philosopher Is: Becoming Nietzsche
Laurence Lampert's book explores how Friedrich Nietzsche's thought evolved from a classicist and advocate of Wagner's cultural renewal to the philosopher of Will to Power and the Eternal Return. He does so through close readings of key works, including "The Birth of Tragedy," "Schopenhauer as Educator," "Richard Wagner in Bayreuth," "Human All Too Human," and "Sanctus Januarius." Lampert sets each work in the context of Nietzsche's writings as a whole and looks at how they individually treat the question of what a philosopher is. The result is the most complete picture of Nietzsche's development, showing him as a Promethean figure gaining knowledge even as he expanded his thought to create new worlds.

The trajectory of Friedrich Nietzsche's thought has long presented a challenge for the study of his philosophy. How did the young Nietzsche, a classicist and ardent advocate of Wagner's cultural renewal, become the philosopher of Will to Power and the Eternal Return? Laurence Lampert answers this question in his book, which employs a close reading of key works in Nietzsche's journey to philosophy. These works include "The Birth of Tragedy," "Schopenhauer as Educator," "Richard Wagner in Bayreuth," "Human, All Too Human," and "Sanctus Januarius," the final book of the 1882 Gay Science. Lampert places each work in the context of Nietzsche's writings as a whole and examines how they individually address the question of what a philosopher is. He relies partly on how Nietzsche himself characterized his books in his many autobiographical guides to the trajectory of his thought.
The result of Lampert's analysis is the most comprehensive picture we have yet of Nietzsche's development. It presents a Promethean Nietzsche, gaining knowledge even as he expanded his thought to create new worlds. The book is essential for anyone interested in understanding Nietzsche's philosophy and its evolution.
