Friedrich Nietzsche occupies a contradictory position in the
history of ideas: he came up with the concept of a master race, yet
an eminent Jewish scholar like Martin Buber translated his Also
sprach Zarathustra into Polish and remained in a lifelong
intellectual dialogue with Nietzsche. Sigmund Freud admired his
intellectual courage and was not at all reluctant to admit that
Nietzsche had anticipated many of his basic ideas.
This unique collection of essays explores the reciprocal
relationship between Nietzsche and Jewish culture. It is organized
in two parts: the first examines Nietzsche's attitudes towards Jews
and Judaism; the second Nietzsche's influence on Jewish
intellectuals as diverse and as famous as Franz Kafka, Martin
Buber, Franz Rosenzweig and Sigmund Freud. Each carefully selected
essay explores one aspect of Nietzsche's relation to Judaism and
German intellectual history, from Heinrich Heine to Nazism.
