Over the past hundred years Friedrich Nietzsche has proved to be one of the most fascinating and influential European thinkers on the American scene; his ideas, in recent years in particular, have had a huge impact in every field of the humanities. The essays by well-known American and German scholars collected here, commissioned especially for this book, offer for the first time an encompassing survey of American reactions to the German philosopher.
