The three stigmata of Friedrich Nietzsche: political physiology in the age of nihilism

Following Nietzsche's call for a 'philosopher-physician' and his own use of the bodily language of 'health' and 'illness' as tools to diagnose the ailmentsof the body politic, this book offers a reconstruction of the concept of 'political physiology' in Nietzsche's thought, bridging gaps between Anglo-American, German and French schools of interpretation. NANDITA BISWAS MELLAMPHY is Assistant Professor of Political Theory, and core faculty in the Centre for the Study of Theory and Criticism at The University of Western Ontario. Her research focuses on Nietzsche's political thought and its influence on contemporary interdisciplinary theory. She is also an exponent of the classical Indian dance style of Bharatanatya and has toured extensively in North America.
