Abstract

The article presents the author's response to Eliyahu Rosenow's review of "Nietzsche's Legacy for Education: Past and Present Values." Rosenow begins his review by relating our collection to Anglo-American philosophy of education and the twin claims made for its uniqueness by the editors: the collection comprises work by a group of scholars from three different locations working from original texts, linking "Nietzsch's "oeuvre" to contemporary scholarship and particularly the work of the French poststructuralists." I do not think that Rosenow makes enough of the second claim for most of the papers included in the volume relate Nietzsche to poststructuralism either by working from poststructuralist readings of the so-called "new Nietzsche" or by exploring the significance of Nietzsche directly for a poststructuralist approach in education.
