"Ecce homo" und "Der Antichrist", die beiden Schriften, die Nietzsche für den Druck vorbereitete, aber nicht mehr selbst veröffentlichen konnte, verhandeln die miteinander verbundenen Fragen, was ein Philosoph ist und was ein philosophisches Leben ausmacht. "Nietzsches Vermächtnis" begreift die Zwillingsbücher, die bisher nicht in ihrer Zusammengehörigkeit verstanden wurden, als das späte Hauptwerk, das an die Stelle des von Nietzsche verworfenen "Willens zur Macht" tritt. "Umwertung aller Werte" nennt Nietzsche die Ausrichtung des Lebens an einem Typus höchster Bejahung, die er mit "Ecce homo" und "Der Antichrist" ins Werk zu setzen beansprucht. Das Zweigespann, in dem sein OEuvre zum Abschluss kommt, stellt sich indes zugleich in den Dienst der entschiedensten Verneinung. Es trägt die schärfste Kritik vor, der ein Philosoph das Christentum unterzog. Der Autor tritt mit dem Gestus des Gründers und Gesetzgebers auf, der die Geschichte der Menschheit in zwei Stücke bricht. Aber in beiden Büchern gilt sein vorrangiges Interesse der Natur des Philosophen. Wie das Ja und das Nein zusammengehen, wie Natur und Politik sich näher bestimmen, wie Nietzsches Intention das politisch-philosophische Doppelgesicht regiert, das ist Gegenstand von Heinrich Meiers seit langem angekündigter Auseinandersetzung. Sie nimmt Nietzsches Philosophie im Ganzen neu in den Blick.

"This book explores different theories of law, religion, and tradition, from both a secular and a religious perspective. It reflects on how tradition and change can affect religious and secular legal reasoning, identifying the patterns of legal evolution within religious and secular traditions. It is often taken for granted that, even in law, change corresponds and correlates to progress - that things ought to be changed and they will necessarily get better. There is no doubt that legal changes over the centuries have made it possible to enhance the protection of individual rights and to somewhat contain the possibility of tyranny and despotism. But progress is not everything in law: stability and certainty lie at the core of the rule of law. Similarly, religions and religious laws could not survive without traditions; and yet, they still evolve, and their evolution is often intermingled with secular law. The book asks (and in some ways answers) the questions: What is the role of tradition within religions and religious laws? What is the impact of religious traditions on secular laws, and vice-versa? How are the elements of tradition to be identified? Are they the same within the secular and the religious realm? Do secular law and religious law follow comparable patterns of change? Do their levels of resilience differ significantly? How does the history of religion and law affect changes within religious traditions and legal systems? The overall focus of the book addresses the extent to which tradition plays a role in shaping and re-shaping secular and religious laws, as well as their mutual boundaries."--Back cover
