I'm presently working on a book for the Value Inquiry Book Series (Rodopi) entitled "Beyond Fanaticism." It explores the way that Nietzsche transformed the meaning of fanaticism, a term that summed up the Enlightenment critique of religion. And in doing so, it suggests a novel perspective on the resurgent fanaticism of the 21st century. rod_nicholls@capebretonu.ca
