Abstract

A timely new interpretation of Nietzsche’s politics which resolves the tensions in existing views by proposing “ethical libertarianism” as the political system most consistent with his philosophy. This interpretation focuses on self-transformation rather than power, and is individualist but emphasises the role of social context.
