Review of third, expanded edition of Danto's Nietzsche as Philosopher

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.
