Nietzsche and Race

By Marc de Launay

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

The caricature of Friedrich Nietzsche as a proto-Nazi is still with us, originating with his own Nazi sister, Elisabeth F?rster, 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.
