This book investigates the role Nietzsche's dance images play in his project of "revaluing all values" alongside the religious rhetoric and subject matter evident in the work of Isadora Duncan and Martha Graham, who found justification and guidance in Nietzsche's texts for developing dance as a medium of religious expression.

KIMERER LAMOTHE is a philosopher, dancer, and scholar of religion who taught modern Western philosophy and theology for six years at Brown and then Harvard Universities.
