loginNietzsche, Biology and Metaphorexplores the German philosopher’s re-sponse to the intellectual debates sparked by the publication of CharlesDarwin’sOrigin of Species. By examining the abundance of biologicalmetaphors in Nietzsche’s writings, Gregory Moore questions his recentreputation as an eminently subversive and (post-) modern thinker, andshows how deeply Nietzsche was immersed in late nineteenth-centurydebates on evolution, degeneration and race.
