125: Reviewing John Kaag's Hiking with Nietzsche
Update: 2025-11-18
Description
My review of Kaag's book about Nietzsche, the Swiss Alps, and the many other philosophers who have spent time in Sils Maria. Overall a good experience, but more of a beginner read. John Kaag provides a relatively faithful analysis of Nietzsche's philosophy in his book, which will not contain many new insights for the advanced Nietzsche reader. There are some interesting parallels he provides between thinkers, however, and some more obscure anecdotes from Nietzsche's life discussed. The work is primarily valuable as a character study of John Kaag himself, as a man who wishes to live dangerously, while married to a Kantian modern world.
