Zusammenfassung:"Six essays from a well-known Nietzsche scholar on Strauss, Plato, Nietzsche, and the history of western philosophy In Strauss, Plato, Nietzsche: The Beijing Lectures, Laurence Lampert presents what he calls the new history of philosophy, made possible by Friedrich Nietzsche. This "new" history takes seriously Nietzsche's claim that "the greatest thoughts are the greatest events." To put it even more assertively that "genuine philosophers are commanders and legislators."
