Читать книгу Baudrillard with Nietzsche and Heidegger: Towards a Genealogical Analysis - Vanessa Freerks - Страница 3

The reworking of my PhD thesis for this book was done while I was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Sofia and I wish to acknowledge the kind support of Alexander Gungov for making this possible.

I am most indebted to my PhD supervisor, Rafael Winkler, who has consistently supported me to pursue my projects amidst adversity and who now named me his research associate at the University of Johannesburg. The exchanges and rich conversations with him helped to clarify a number of issues regarding Nietzschean genealogy and the intricacies relating to Heidegger’s conception of death.

This book would not have seen the light of day without Douglas Kellner, whose work on Baudrillard has accompanied me throughout my research. He has continuously given me important questions to reconsider, especially surrounding the relation between Baudrillard and Nietzsche. I am honoured that he also agreed to further contribute to this book by writing the Preface.

I am especially thankful to 福文心 , who tirelessly read, edited, and commented on early drafts of this book.

I would also like to thank Frank Chouraqui who encouraged me to research the associations between Baudrillard and Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals and Thaddeus Metz for sharing his experience and insights concerning the reworking my book.
