Kaag sets off for the Swiss peaks above Sils Maria where Nietzsche wrote his landmark work Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Both of Kaag's journeys are made in search of the wisdom at the core of Nietzsche's philosophy, yet they deliver him to radically different interpretations and, more crucially, revelations about the human condition. Just as Kaag's acclaimed debut, American Philosophy: A Love Story, seamlessly wove together his philosophical discoveries with his search for meaning, Hiking with Nietzsche is a fascinating exploration not only of Nietzsche's ideals but of how his experience of living relates to us as individuals in the twenty-first century. Bold, intimate, and rich with insight, Hiking with Nietzsche is about defeating complacency, balancing sanity and madness, and coming to grips with the unobtainable. As Kaag hikes, alone or with his family, but always with Nietzsche, he recognizes that even slipping can be instructive. It is in the process of climbing, and through the inevitable missteps, that one has the chance, in Nietzsche's words, to 'become who you are.'"--Publisher's description 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [235]-240) and index. 505 00 $g Epilogue : $t Timeline of Nietzsche's life and writings. $g Part I : $t How the journey began -- $t Enduring companions -- $t The last man -- $t The eternal return -- $g Part II : $t Zarathustra in love -- $t On the mountain -- $t On genealogy -- $t Decadence and disgust -- $t The abysmal hotel -- $g Part III : $t The horse -- $t Behold, the man -- $t Steppenwolf -- $t Become who you are -- $g Epilogue : $t Morganstreich -- $t Timeline of Nietzsche's life and writings. 600 10 $a Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm, $d 1844-1900. 600 10 $a Kaag, John J., $d 1979- 600 17 $a Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm, $d 1844-1900. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00031611 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) 650 0 $a Spiritual biography. 650 0 $a Mountaineering $z Alps $x Miscellanea. 650 7 $a Mountaineering. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01028334 650 7 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111481 650 7 $a Spiritual biography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130067 651 7 $a Alps. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239717 655 7 $a Trivia and miscellanea. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921748 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015330.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=76F491D2DDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
