{"product_id":"9781139986205","title":"Nietzsche's Naturalism: Philosophy and the Life Sciences in the Nineteenth Century","description":"This book explores Nietzsche's philosophical naturalism in its historical context, showing that his position is best understood against the background of encounters between neo-Kantianism and the life sciences in the nineteenth century. Analyzing most of Nietzsche's writings from the late 1860s onwards, Christian J. Emden reconstructs Nietzsche's naturalism and argues for a new understanding of his account of nature and normativity. Emden proposes historical reasons why Nietzsche came to adopt the position he did; his genealogy of values and his account of a will to power are as much influenced by Kantian thought as they are by nineteenth-century debates on teleology, biological functions, and theories of evolution. This rich and wide-ranging study will be of interest to scholars and students of Nietzsche, the history of modern philosophy, intellectual history, and history of science.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118583562480,"sku":"9781139986205","price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781139986205_p0.jpg?v=1763700951","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781139986205","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
