Beginning with essays from Nietzsche's youth, Graham Parkes shows the influence of such figures as Goethe, Byron, and Emerson on Nietzsche's formidable and multiple talents. Parkes goes on to chart the development of Nietzsche's psychological ideas in terms of the imagery, drawn from the dialogues of Plato as well as from Nietzsche's own quasi-mystical experiences of nature, in which he spoke of the soul. Finally, Parkes analyzes Nietzsche's most revolutionary idea-that the soul is composed of multiple \"drives,\" or \"persons,\" within the psyche. The task for Nietzsche's psychology, then, was to identify and order these multiple persons within the individual-to compose the soul. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring all new translations of quotations from Nietzsche's writings, \u003ci\u003eComposing the Soul\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the profundity of Nietzsche's lifelong personal and intellectual struggles to come to grips with the soul.
