NIETZSCHE AND BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHY ANTOINE PANAÏOTIĬambridge university press Cambridge, New York, Melbourne, Madrid, Cape Town, Singapore, São Paulo, Delhi, Mexico City Cambridge University Press The Edinburgh Building, Cambridge cb2 8ru, UK Published in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press, New York Information on this title: © Antoine Panaïoti 2013 This publication is in copyright. antoine panaı¨oti is Lecturer in Philosophy at McGill University and the University of Montreal, and a post-doctoral fellow at the Center of Research in Ethics, University of Montreal. His book will interest students and scholars of Nietzsche’s philosophy, Buddhist thought, and the metaphysical, existential, and ethical issues that emerge with the demise of theism. He discusses the psychological models and theories which underlie their supposedly opposing ethics of “great health,” and explodes the apparent dichotomy between Nietzsche’s Dionysian life-affirmation and Buddhist life-negation, arguing for a novel, hybrid response to the challenge of formulating a tenable post-nihilist ethics. In this book Antoine Panaïoti explores the deep and complex relations between Nietzsche’s views and Buddhist philosophy. While he followed Buddhist thinking in demolishing what he regarded as the two-headed delusion of Being and Self, he saw himself as advocating a response to the ensuing nihilist crisis that was diametrically opposed to that of his Indian counterpart. Nietzsche once proclaimed himself the “Buddha of Europe,” and throughout his life Buddhism held enormous interest for him.
