Vanishing Selves: Negotiating Selfhood in Self-Representational Works by Goethe, Sand, and Nietzsche

by Haag and Stephen Haag

Vanishing Selves deals with autobiographical works by Goethe, Sand, and Nietzsche. A key strategy in these works is to downplay the significance of the self. They avoid an interiorizing strategy in favour of an affirmation the world. The objective of Vanishing Selves is to reveal the existential as well as ethical claims of this affirmation.
