Description:
Appearing between two historical touchstones--the alleged end of communism and 100th anniversary of Nietzsche's death--this book offers a provocative hypothesis about the philosopher's afterlife and the fate of leftist thought and culture. At issue is the relation of the dead Nietzsche (corpse) and his written work (corpus) to living Neitzscheanism across the political spectrum, primarily among a leftist corps that has been programmed and manipulated by concealed dimensions of the philosopher's thought. If anyone is responsible for what Waite maintains is the illusory death of communism, it is Nietzsche, the man and concept.
