Beholding Nietzsche: Ecce Homo, Fate, and Freedom
2013
It has often been noted that Nietzsche's autobiography focuses primarily on his literary and phi~osophical productions. EH has been read as a book about Nietzsche's books, about his assessment of his own writings, despite the title that announces the presentation of a life-homo, not biblio-and his profession that his life and his books should not be confused (EH: "Why I Write Such Good Books" 1). And there has been much attention given to the literary qualities of the text itself and what they indicate about Nietzsche's views about literature as a model for "giving style to one's character" (Nehamas 1985; cf. Sarah Kofman 1992). 2 Walter Kaufmann's editorial introduction and notes claim Nietzsche collapsed before completing his revisions to the text. More extensive philological research has shown, in fact, Nietzsche continued to make alterations to the text, including its concluding poems, as late as January 2, 1889 (Montinari 2003: 111), though the scholarly opinion is still divided on the question of whether Nietzsche himself thought EH was finished and whether the text as it was published was that text or some near approximation. Compare, for example, Erich Podach's claim "What is certain is that Nietzsche did not leave behind a finished Ecce Homo, but we have one'' with Mazzino Montinari's: "What is certain is that Nietzsche left behind a finished Ecce Homo, but we do not have it" (Montinari 2003: 120; Podach cited by Montinari 2003: 125 n. 35).
Review of �Nietzsche: A Philosophical Biography�
Essays in Philosophy, 2003
Maybe we did not need another book on Nietzsche. The philosopher who famously despised scholarship and scholars has been the occasion of more ink spilled by academics than perhaps any other thinker of the modern period. And although much of the recent work on Nietzsche should be counted among the best books yet written on his thought-I am thinking of Kathleen Higgins' Comic Relief (2000), for example, and Brian Leiter's Nietzsche on Morality (2002)-one sometimes wonders if there is anything original left to say about what already has been so overwrought. But then along comes a book like Safranski's Nietzsche and the great German iconoclast (that's Nietzsche, not Safranski) is fresh for us again. Safranski is good at this: his well-received biographies of Schopenhauer and Heidegger were similarly refreshing books to read, tying together the life and thought of those two figures in a way that no one had successfully done before (indeed, when speaking of either Schopenhauer or Heidegger, one tends to avoid discussing their lives-especially in Heidegger's case). And although it is true that we have several good and-in the work of Curt Paul Janz, for exampleeven excellent biographies of Nietzsche, Safranski is the first to tease the strange and often shocking philosophical ideas of Nietzsche out of his rather comparatively mild and conservative life.

Michael Ure's Nietzsche's The Gay Science: an Introduction is the second instalment devoted to Nietzsche, after Lawrence Hatab's Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality: an Introduction (2008) in the series "Cambridge Introductions to Key Philosophical Texts." Ure's name will be familiar to readers interested in the influence ancient philosophies have exerted on Nietzsche's intellectual development and his very conception of philosophy and life. 1 In his new book, Ure proposes a thorough commentary of the prose material from The Gay Science (abbreviated afterwards GS), that is: Books I to IV from the 1882 edition, and Book V and the "Saturnalia" preface, added to the 1887 edition. Ure approaches GS not simply as a philosophy book-albeit an important one-but also as a "deeply personal" and "philosophical autobiography" (i): quoting Nietzsche's own preface, GS is described as a "strange book of experiences" written by a decidedly "untimely and unconventional philosopher" (7). In the introductory chapter, Ure stresses two complementary aspects of GS: as a critique, it is "one of the most compelling and influential accounts of the modern crisis of values that [Nietzsche] later called nihilism," and as a project, it calls for a "new art of living" addressed to "the so-called free spirits among his readers" (4). Ure approaches GS as part of the free-spirit trilogy (with Daybreak and Human All Too Human) and as a corner stone of Nietzsche's "philosophical therapy"a therapy through which Nietzsche "does not simply recycle the ancient model of philosophy but rather (…) develops a rival, post-classical philosophical therapy" (12). The key distinction between ancient philosophical therapies and Nietzsche's own, Ure argues, lies in "affirming rather than simply enduring life" (14). Each chapter, following GS's original order, is organized so as to reinforce this overarching interpretation. Each key moment in GS, "the death of God, the exercise of eternal recurrence, and the ideal of self-fashioning" (i) is reread through the lens of philosophical therapy-the book itself becoming a 'spiritual exercise' for free spirits. Ure's deliberate focus is well-advised, providing a fairly REVIEW

FAREWELL DEAR FRITZ: a tribute to Friedrich Nietzsche
IGDS eBooks, 2025
This book is about two diametrically opposed approaches to the truth--introspection and extrospection. Introspection was the mature approach of the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. While this approach led to profound insights into his personal psychology, it prevented him from reaching his goal of revaluing all societal values, and it proved so traumatic that it caused the great thinker to lose his sanity. This high-risk, low-reward approach is contrasted with one in which truth is sought through an exploration of the outside world--namely the dynamic life-system, or strategic logos--enabling, among many other things, an understanding of the way societal values are formulated. In one of his last books "Nietzsche contra Wagner" (1888/1895), Nietzsche wrote about Wagner and himself that: "we are antipodes". The same could be said of Nietzsche and me. Yet this difference does not diminish the warmth of feeling I have for Fritz (as he was known to family and close friends), nor the immense respect I have for his dangerous and painful odyssey in search of the truth.
Anti-Nietzsche : A Critique of Friedrich Nietzsche
Nietzsche’s irrational doctrines have contributed to the emergence of self-destructive extremism on both the right and left ends of the political spectrum. The realization of his Übermensch ideal is not about achieving greatness as an individual but rather about greatness as a collective whole, specifically as a European empire. His philosophy stands in stark contrast to genuine conservatism, which is rooted in Christian principles. Keywords: conservatism, perspectivism, traditionalism, New Right, identitarian, postmodernism, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Heraclitus, extremism, antisemitism, will to power, logos, Christianity.
