- Summary:
- For the first time in any study of Friedrich Nietzsche, Siegfried Mandel persuasively argues that the controversial 19th-century philosopher was both "philosemitic" and anti-Semitic. Forceful, lively, and original, the book incorporates a wealth of evidence that opens Nietzsche's life and works to more careful study and reflection.
