In this study, the authors set out to show how the leading problems of modern thought - the death of God, perspectivism, nihilism, and the crisis of rationality - have their origins in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. In particular, they explore the dependence of Weber, Freud, Adorno and Foucault on Nietzsche's theories of resentment, language, the unconscious and sexuality.;Against the conventional interpretations of Nietzsche, which give a special place to his aestheticism, the book locates the core of Nietzsche's critical outlook in his doctrine of "the little things". Opposition and resistance to the iron cage of western, state-managed rationality is to be found in human embodiment, reciprocity and the concreteness of the everyday world. However, against the pessimism and nostalgia of classical sociology, the authors attempt to develop Nietzsche's "gay science" and the revaluation of values into a joyful sociology of the body, resistance and reciprocity. This is "Nietzsche's Dance".
