Abstract

This article discusses the application of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy to literature, specifically the works of John Banville. It explores the concept of "virtuous egoism" in Nietzsche's philosophy and suggests that characters in Banville's novels embody this idea. The article also examines the theme of death in Banville's works and its connection to ethics and optimism. The document accompanying the article is a list of references and sources related to Nietzsche's philosophy, including translations of his work and books analyzing his ideas. These resources would be valuable for library patrons researching Nietzsche and his philosophy. [Extracted from the article]
