Nietzsche naturalism and interpretation

"Nietzsche: Naturalism and Interpretation offers a resolution of one of the most vexing problems in Nietzsche scholarship: how can an antifoundationalist philosophy avoid vicious relativism and legitimate its claim to provide a platform for the critique of arguments, practices, and institutions?" "Christoph Cox argues that Nietzsche successfully navigates between relativism and dogmatism, arriving at a postmetaphysical epistemological and ontological position that is not only viable but exemplary. In Cox's view, Nietzsche accepts the naturalistic critique of metaphysics and theology provided by modern science yet maintains that a thoroughgoing naturalism must move beyond scientific reductionism to accept a central feature of aesthetic understanding: acknowledgment of the primacy and irreducibility of interpretation."--Jacket.
