  abstract: Nietzsche did his philosophizing while he was coming apart at the seams. His writing is hard for readers to find their way around because he was all over the place when he produced it. But it's philosophy of coming apart at the seams and being all over the place, and also philosophy as a way of coping with that predicament, which makes it both fascinating and important. Why Didn't Nietzsche Get His Act Together has three main tasks on its agenda. Nietzsche is hard to make sense of. This is a guide, a book that shows you how to read him for yourself. Second, Nietzsche coped with his disintegrating self by philosophizing, and so this is a work that takes up disunified agency through Nietzsche's own engagement with the topic. Third and finally, Nietzsche managed his fragmenting personality by inventing one after another meaning of life for himself, examining those inventions and the job they did for him is an occasion to ask what a meaning of life is for.
