Summary: Most recent studies of Nietzsche's works have lost sight of the fundamental question of the meaning of a life of inescapable suffering, but Reginster brings it sharply into focus. He identifies overcoming nihilism as a central objective of Nietzsche's philosophical project, and shows how this concern systematically animates all of his major ideas.
