A definitive debunking of the "Nietzsche as Nazi" caricature.

The caricature of Friedrich Nietzsche as a proto-Nazi is still with us, having originated with his own Nazi sister, Elisabeth Fster, who curated Nietzsche's disparate texts to suit her own purposes. In Nietzsche and Race, Marc de Launay deftly counters this persistent narrative in a series of concise and highly accessible reflections on the concept of race in Nietzsche's publications, notebooks, and correspondence. Through a fresh reading of Nietzsche's core philosophical project, de Launay articulates a new understanding of race in Nietzsche's body of work free from the misunderstanding of his detractors.
