AS THE SPIDER SPINS GEBUNDEN

Nietzsche's metaphor of the spider that spins its cobweb expresses his critique of the
metaphysical use of language - but it also suggests that we  spiders   are able to spin
different  life-affirming  healthier  non-metaphysical cobwebs. This book is a collection of 12
essays that focus not only on Nietzsche's critique of the metaphysical assumptions of language
but also on his effort to use language in a different way  i.e.  to create a new language . It
is from this viewpoint that the book considers such themes as consciousness  the self  metaphor
instinct  affectivity  style  morality  truth  and knowledge.The authors invited to contribute
to this volume are Nietzsche scholars who belong to some of the most important research centers
of the European Nietzsche-Research: Centro Colli-Montinari (Italy)  GIRN (Europhilosphie) 
SEDEN (Spain)  Greifswald Research Group (Germany)  NIL (Portugal). In 2011 João Constncio and
Maria João Mayer Branco edited Nietzsche on Instinct and Language  also published by Walter de
Gruyter. The two books complement each other.
