title = "THE FIGURAL DIMENSION OF NIETZSCHE'S THOUGHT",
abstract = "We attempt to demonstrate the importance and centrality to Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy of the different well-drawn figures that appear throughout his writings. 1 In particular, we will argue that the function of many of these figures or figural embodiments is to dispense a {"}disruptive wisdom{"} that is not readily .available from more traditional approaches to philosophy. By relying on a variety of poetic and literary figures, Nietzsche acquaints his readers with {"}untimely{"} perspectives from which the received wisdom of the day can be called into question. To make the case for these figures as purveyors of {"}disruptive wisdom,{"} we focus on the figure of the {"}Philosopher of the Future{"} as Nietzsche's untimely figure par excellence and exemplary model for this new kind of wisdom-one which disrupts the familiar and forces us to think and act outside of the {"}timely{"} commonplace.",
