Despite the increasing prominence of Klossowski's philosophical work there exists no
full-length or sustained treatment of his writings on Nietzsche. This study analyses
Klossowski's semiotic of intensity as a conceptual foundation for his philosophy and
interpretation of Nietzsche grounded in the central principles of his theory of signs. It then
explores its implications for the categories of chance causality individuation and time
drawing a series of parallels between Klossowski's texts and the work of other scholars such
as McTaggart Eco D. Z. Albert M. Silverstein Meillassoux N. Land and J. Stambaugh.
Throughout this work lends accessibility to Klossowski's often opaque and idiosyncratic style.
It should be relevant to anyone interested in Klossowski's philosophical work in contemporary
Nietzsche scholarship or in the 20th Century linguistic and existential Continental tradition.
