Radically revises Nietzsche's ethical and political views by controversially interpreting his philosophy as phenomenological Closely analyses the often-disregarded middle period works by Nietzsche, including The Gay Science, Daybreak and Human, All Too Human Includes a new interpretation of key concepts, such as will to power, to emphasise their phenomenological import Engages with prominent commentators from the continental and analytic tradition including Ruth Abbey, Keith Ansell-Pearson, Rebecca Bamford, Christa Davis Acampora, and Robert C. Miner Advances new perspectives on central and well-known passages from Nietzsche's corpus Christine Daigle explores Nietzsche's phenomenological method, a 'wild phenomenology', to elucidate his understanding of the human being as an intentional embodied consciousness, as a being-in-the-world and as a being-with-others. Establishing this phenomenological conception of the human allows Daigle to revisit the Nietzschean notions of free spirit and the Overhuman and how they express the ethical and cultural-political flourishing Nietzsche envisions for human beings. This daring reinterpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy resolves inconsistencies in previous scholarship and offers a thought-provoking new take on his ethical and political views.

Reviews
"Nietzsche as Phenomenologist offers a provocative reading of Nietzsche as a phenomenologist avant la lettre. Daigle makes a compelling case for a Nietzschean 'wild phenomenology' that anticipates Husserl's philosophical framework and methodology. Her systematic reading challenges us to investigate consciousness and embodied subjectivity, ethics, and politics in Nietzsche through the lens of classical phenomenological concepts such as intentionality, being-in-the-world, and being-with-other. A refreshing addition to Nietzsche scholarship! ? " -Vanessa Lemm, Deakin University
