Thus Nietzsche's belief that questions to truth and morality are at base questions of power and fitness resonates dynamically and intellectually with his alternating lucidity and delirium. The keen student of Nietzsche will welcome the appearance of this profound but extremely taxing study in a good English translation. Klossowski has been one of the few commentators to recognise the centrality of the idea of the drives (Triebe) for Nietzsche and the crucial role they play in the thought of eternal recurrence. The discussion of the significance of Nietzsche's debilitating migraine attacks is exemplary of the way Klossowski deftly interweaves philosophical with biographical considerations.Hide synopsis

Pierre Klossowski wrote full length volumes on Marquis de Sade and Friedrich Nietzsche, many essays on other literary and philosophical figures, and five novels. "Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle" greatly influenced French philosophers such as Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, and Jean-François Lyotard. He translated several important texts (Virgil, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Martin Heidegger, Friedrich Hölderlin, Franz Kafka, Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin) into French. He also worked on films and art projects of his own, illustrating many of the scenes from his novels. Klossowski participated in most issues of George Bataille's review, Acéphale, in the late 1930s. Klossowski appeared in Robert Bresson's film, "Au hasard Balthazar" as the avaricious miller who desires Marie, a character played by Anne Wiazemsky. He was involved in Raoul Ruiz's films "La vocation suspendue" (1977) and "L'hypothèse du tableau volé" (1979), Pierre Zucca's film "Roberte" (1979), and Alain Fleischer's "Pierre Klossowski ou l'éternel détour" (1996). His text on Marquis de Sade is mentioned in the bibliography at the beginning of Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, " and quoted several times through that film. From the publisher: Long recognized as a masterpiece of Nietzsche scholarship, "Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle" is made available here for the first time in English. Taking a structuralist approach to the relation between Nietzsche's thought and his life, Klossowski emphasizes the centrality of the notion of Eternal Return (a cyclical notion of time and history) for understanding Nietzsche's propensities for self-denial, self-reputation, and self-consumption. Nietzsche's ideas did not stem from personal pathology, according to Klossowski. Rather, he made a pathological use of his best ideas, anchoring them in his own fluctuating bodily and mental conditions. Thus Nietzsche's belief that questions of truth and morality are at base questions of power and fitness resonates dynamically and intellectually with his alternating lucidity and delirium.
