Nietzsche and the Politics of Difference

The question of Nietzsche¿s use of political theory has a long and vexed history. The contributors re-situate debates around the notion of difference with a view to current political developments. They discuss a variety of perspectives, such as how Nietzsche helps us to think through and to maintain hard-won civil liberties and rights in the face of hegemonic discourses, practices and forces, or how to counteract global environmental degradation.
