Hutter (political philosophy, Concordia U., Montreal) argues that Nietzsche's philosophy is rooted in classical Greek ideas and is similarly as concerned with living life as viewing life. Hutter applies to Nietzsche Pierre Hadot's notion of philosophy as a discipline of reshaping oneself in all aspects of body and soul. As a result, Nietzsche is rescued from postmodernism but remains essential to modern life. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
