Deconstructing Postmodernist Nietzscheanism

Deleuze and Foucault

By
Jan Rehmann
Jan Rehmann
2004 • 337 pages

Rehmann’s book investigates how Deleuze and Foucault read Nietzsche and apply a hermeneutics of innocence to his philosophy that erases its elitist, anti-democratic, and anti-socialist dimensions. This also affects their own theory and impairs postmodernism’s claim to develop a radical critique.
