Jamie Parr is a writer, editor and philosopher, based in Brisbane, Australia. His principal research concern in philosophy is nihilism and its transfigurative overcoming, particularly as explored in the respective projects of Blaise Pascal and Friedrich Nietzsche. Outside of philosophy he has published in the field of humanitarian journalism and genocide studies, with a focus on the Balkan conflicts of the 1990s.
Jamie is the author of a number of articles, including, ‘What do I matter!: Nietzsche on Pascal, Self-Obsession, and Good Cheer’ (in Joy and Laughter in Nietzsche’s Philosophy: An Alternative Liberatory Politics, Bloomsbury), ‘Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht and Nietzsche’s Art of Transfiguration’ (with Venessa Ercole, in Nietzsche and Music: Philosophical Thoughts and Musical Experiments, Cambridge Scholars Publishing), and the monograph Nietzsche and Pascal: Transfiguration, Despair, and the Problem of Existence (forthcoming, Bloomsbury Academic). His most recent article is 'Pregnancy as a Cipher for Nietzsche’s Project of Self Overcoming: The Case of Pascal', co-authored with Katia Hay (in Comparative and Continental Philosophy).
