American Nietzsche by Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen

If you were looking for a philosopher likely to appeal to Americans, Friedrich Nietzsche would be far from your first choice. The author delves deeply into Nietzsche's philosophy, and America's reception of it, to tell the story of his curious appeal.
"Today's inescapable and perplexing Nietzsche is not necessarily the same Nietzsche who inspired readers in the past; and it's the achievement of American Nietzsche to show how that is the case" (Alexander Star, New York Times Book Review) "A lively history.... With vigor and intelligence, American Nietzsche covers a great deal of ground.... Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen is a superb listener." (Nation)"
Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen is the Merle Curti Associate Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin - Madison.
