Chapelle, Daniel. Nietzsche and Psychoanalysis (Albany: SUNY Press, 1993)

Clark, Maudemarie. Nietzsche on Truth and Philosophy (Cambridge: Cambridge U. Press, 1990). Very important on this topic. She (I think wrongly) remakes N. into a contemporary analytic philosopher. She is very hard to refute.

Conway, Daniel and Peter Groff eds. Nietzsche: Critical Assessments (New York: Routledge, 1998.)

Copleston, Frederick. Friedrich Nietzsche: Philosopher of Culture (New York: Barnes and Noble, 1942, 1975). This classic work shows the prejudices of a Jesuit philosopher. Much the same material also appears in his famous history of philosophy.

Dannhauser, Werner J. Nietzsche's View of Socrates. (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1974.)

Danto, Arthur. Nietzsche as Philosopher (New York: Macmillan, 1965; New York: Columbia U. Press, 1980). This was the first effort by an analytic philosopher in the U.S. to treat N. as a philosopher. It is somewhat dated now. Nihilism is the central concept in N.s philosophy.

Darby, Tom et. al. eds. Nietzsche and the Rhetoric of Nihilism (Ottawa: Carleton University Press, 1989)

Del Caro, Adrian. Nietzsche Contra Nietzsche: Creativity and the Anti-Romantic (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1989)

Nietzsche et la philosophie (Paris: Presses Universitaires de France, 1962.) This classic work by the French philosopher in the post-structuralist vein develops Deleuze's ideas on resentiment and others of N.s themes.

- and Guattari F. Anti-Oedipus. tr. R. Hurley et al., (London: Athlone Press, 1983) orig. L'Anti-Oedipe (Paris: PUF, 1972). Deleuze and Guittari take on Freud, with some N. on the side.

De Man, Paul. Allegories of Reading: Figural Language in Rousseau, Nietzsche, Rilke and Proust (New Haven and London: Yale U. Press, 1979), This classical American postmodern literary work has been argued against by many.

Derrida, Jacques. The Ear of the Other: Otobiography, Transference, Translation ed. Christie V. McDonald (New York: Schocken Books, 1985) [1980]. Derrida is always interesting, although never fully understandable. Not for the weak at heart, or the analytically inclined.

Foucault, Michel. "Nietzsche, Genealogy, History." in Language, Counter-Memory, Practice ed. D. F. Bouchard, tr. D. F. Bouchard and S. Simon (Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1977). This is an extremely important work by one of the foremost French thinkers of the last part of the 20th century.

- "Ecce Homo or the Written Body." Trans. Judith Still. Oxford Literary Review 7, 1-2 (1985): 3-24. Should be interesting.

- "Nietzsche, Freud, Marx." in Nietzsche: Cahiers du Royaumont, Philosophie No. VI. Paris: Editions de Minuit, 1967, pp. 183-200. [English translation Alan D. Schrift Transforming the Hermeneutic Context: From Nietzsche to Nancy ed. Gayle L. Ormiston and Alan D. Schrift Albany: SUNY Press, 1990]. Ditto.

Gillespie, Allen, and Tracy B. Strong eds. Nietzsche's New Seas: Explorations in Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Politics (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1988). Interesting collection in a postmodern vein.

Gilman, Sander L. ed. Conversations with Nietzsche tr. David Parent (New York: Oxford University Press, 1987). Must read. This book is a lot of fun. People remember their encounters with N. Includes student recollections, and even a story about a man who met him once walking on a beach. Anything goes here.

Gilman, Sander L. Nietzschean Parody. (Bonn: Bouvier Verlag, 1976.)

Goicoechea, David. The Great Year of Zarathustra (1881-1981). (Lanham: University Press of America, 1983.)

Habermas, Jurgen. The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity (Cambridge: Polity, 1988) [1985]. Habermas does not much understand or like N. But he is the second most important living German thinker (next to Gadamer). So it is worth looking at.

Hales, Steven D., and Rex Welshon. Nietzsche's Perspectivism. (Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2000.) Takes an analytic approach to Nietzsche on truth, logic, ontology, causality, and epistemology.

Harrison, Thomas, ed. Nietzsche in Italy. (Saratoga, California: ANMA Libri, 1988.)

Hayman, Ronald. Nietzsche: A Critical Life (New York: Oxford U. Press, 1980). Nicely written biography.

Heidegger, Martin. Nietzsche tr. David Farrell Krell. 2 vols. (New York: Harper and Row, 1979-84) (London: Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1981) (Pfullingen: Neske, 1961). This is a masterwork by one of the two or three greatest 20th century philosophers. Heidegger is not great on details, and his interpretations are often strange, but we have here a confrontation between two great philosophers. Ultimately he is wrong about N. on will-to-power, but would that I be wrong so grandly. (I am not advocating his political foolishness and evil, however!).

- "The Word of Nietzsche: God is Dead." The Question Concerning Technology and Other Essays William Lovitt tr. (New York: Harper and Row, 1977). Ditto.

Higgins, Kathleen Marie. Comic Relief: Nietzsche's Gay Science. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2000.)

- Nietzsche's Zarathustra (Philadelphia: Temple U. Press, 1987). Higgins is always good reading. This one focuses on musical metaphors in N.s greatest work.

Hill, R Kevin. Nietzsche’s Critiques: the Kantian Foundations of his Thought (Clarendon Press : Oxford, 2003) "The book maintains that beneath the turbulent surface of Nietzsche's texts there is a systematic commitment to a form of early neo-Kantianism in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and aesthetics more typical of his era than of ours. The book also documents the decisive influence Nietzsche's close reading of the Critique of Judgement had on the writing of The Birth of Tragedy, and offers an accessible interpretation of Kant's system, while clarifying such difficult issues as the interpretation of Kant's 'transcendental deduction' and his notion of reflective judgment."

Hollingdale, R. J. Nietzsche: The Man and His Philosophy (Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1965). (New edition Cambridge U. Press, 1999) Excellent, classical biography.

Schmitz (Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 1965) (Chicago: Gateway, 1966) [1935]. currently available (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1997) One of the earliest books on N.

Jung, Carl G. Zarathustra: Notes of the Seminar Given in 1934-39 2 vols James L. Jarrett ed. (Princeton: Princeton U. Press, 1988). How could this not be fascinating. Jung was the second most famous psychoanalyst. Here he approaches N.s most mythical book.

Kaufmann, Walter. Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist, Antichrist (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1974, 1968) [1950]. This books introduced N. as a philosopher etc. to American audiences. Kaufmann argued against the interpretation of N. as similar to the Nazis. The book is still well worth reading, and widely available.

Kemal, Salim, Ivan Gaskell and Daniel W. Conway Nietzsche, Philosophy and the Arts (Cambridge: Cambridge U. Press, 1998). Excellent discussion of N. on the arts.

Kohler, Joachim. tr. Ronald Taylor. Zarathustra's Secret: The Inner Life of Friedrich Nietzsche (Yale, 2002). N.s suppressed homosexuality generates his hatred of Christianity and conventional morality. He seeks to disguise the truth of his innermost torments.

Lenson, David. The Birth of Tragedy: A Commentary (Boston: Twayne Publishers, 1987)

Love, Frederick. The Young Nietzsche and the Wagnerian Experience (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1963). Looks interesting.

University of California Press, 1997.)

Lukács, György. The Destruction of Reason. Trans. Peter Palmer. (Atlantic Highlands, N. J.: Humanities Press,1981.) Major humanist Marxist from the early 20th century. Should be worthwhile.

MacIntyre, Alasdair. Three Rival Versions of Moral Inquiry (U. of Notre Dame Press, 1990). MacIntyre is one of the most intelligent of recent moral philosophers. He prefers Aquinas and Aristotle to Nietzsche. He is opinionated but fascinating.

- After Virtue: A Study of Moral Theory. (Notre Dame: Notre Dame University Press, 1981.) Classic of 20th century moral philosophy. Attacks N. and just about everyone else.

Magnus, Bernd, Stanley Steward [t] and Jean-Pierre Mileur eds. Nietzsche's Case: Philosophy as/and Literature (New York and London: Routledge, 1993). Magnus is the leader here. He is an important existentialist-style interpreter of N.

- Heidegger's Metahistory of Philosophy (The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1970)

Magnus, Bernd and Kathleen M. Higgins. The Cambridge Companion to Nietzsche. New York: Cambridge University Press, 1996. This is a standard commentary in an excellent series. The slant is Continental.

Mann, Thomas. "Nietzsche's Philosophy in the Light of Recent History." in Thomas Mann Last Essays tr. Tania and James Stern (New York: Knopf, 1948) [delivered 1947]. The great novelist takes on the great philosopher.

Martin, Glen D. From Nietzsche to Wittgenstein: The Problem of Truth and Nihilism in the Modern World (New York: Peter Lang, 1989). Two great philosophers: should be interesting.

Martin, Nicholas. Nietzsche and Schiller: Untimely Aesthetics. New York: Oxford U. Press, 1996).

May, Simon. Nietzsche's Ethics and his "War on Morality." (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1999).

Megill, Allan. Prophets of Extremity: Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida (U. of Calif. Press, 1985). This makes entertaining reading. Megill, a philosophical journalist, thinks all of these philosophers go over too much to the side of aesthetics.

Mistry, Freny. Nietzsche and Buddhism (Berlin and New York, 1981)

Moles, Alistair. Nietzsche's Philosophy of Nature and Cosmology. (New York: Peter Lang, 1990.)

Moore, Gregory. Nietzsche, Biology and Metaphor (Cambridge U. Press, 2002) “Nietzsche, Biology and Metaphor explores the German philosopher's response to the intellectual debates sparked by the publication of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species. By examining the abundance of biological metaphors in Nietzsche's writings, Gregory Moore questions his recent reputation as an eminently subversive and (post) modern thinker, and shows how deeply Nietzsche was immersed in late nineteenth-century debates on evolution, degeneration and race.” author unknown, Amazon site.

Montinari, Mazzino, Greg Whitlock (t.r). Reading Nietzsche. (Univ. of Illinois Press, 2003) Montinari “has occupied himself almost exclusively with Nietzsche for twenty years, and the little that he has published other than the [current scholarly edition of Ns works] -such as the essays collected here-have no other purpose than as instruction on reading Nietzsche.”

Morgan, George. What Nietzsche Means (Westport, Conn: Greenwood, 1975) (New York: Harper Torchbooks, 1965) [1941] One of my students read this really old commentary and loved it.

Morrison, Robert G. Nietzsche and Buddhism (Oxford: Oxford U. Press, 1997).

Müller-Lauter, Wolfgang. Nietzsche: His Philosophy of Contradictions and the Contradictions of His

Philosophy. Trans. David J. Parent. (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1999.) Contradictions? It all depends on how one reads N. The title doesn't look promising.

Murphy, Tim. Nietzsche, Metaphor, Religion. (Albany: State University of New York Press, 2001.)

Nehamas, Alexander. Nietzsche: Life as Literature (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard U. Press, 1985). This is the masterpiece commentary on N. in the 1980s. Nehamas is a classicist teaching at the best university for that. He loves not only Plato and N., but also is a good student of the mass media. N. looks at the world as if it were a literary text.

Nishitani, Keiji. The Self-Overcoming of Nihilism. trans. Graham Parkes with Setsuko Aihara. (Albany: State University of New York Press, 1990.) Important Japanese philosopher takes on N.

Pearson, Keith Ansell ed. A Companion to Nietzsche (Blackwell, Feb 15, 2006),

Pletsch, Carl. Young Nietzsche : Becoming a Genius (Free Press, 1991). Another Nietzsche biography, this time focussing on the concept of genius. Pletsch alternates between speaking of Nietzsche as a genius and talking about N.s theory of genius.

Poellner, Peter. Nietzsche and Metaphysics (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1995). Another recent attempt to turn N. into a mild-mannered realist analytic philosopher who speaks English. Depends on N.s notebooks and historical context.

Pothen, Philip Nietzsche and the Fate of Art (Ashgate-Publishing : Aldershot, 2002) "This book begins with the premise that there is an important distinction to be made between on the one hand, the well-documented passion for art that Nietzsche displayed in his life, and on the other, a thorough-going and consistent attempt throughout Nietzsche's philosophical texts to uncover the illusions, the configurations of power and psychological deficiencies which Nietzsche, in fact, believed underpinned art and the work of art. The book suggests, perhaps the greatest suspicion concerning art since Plato's, and perhaps including Plato's, as well as some of the richest insights into art in the whole history of philosophy."

Rampley, Matthew. Nietzsche, Aesthetics and Modernity (Cambridge U. Press, 2000). His relations to Kant and Hegel, and his view of negation, sublimity, nihilism.

Reichert, Herbert W. Friedrich Nietzsche's Impact on Modern German Literature. (Chapel Hill: University of

North Carolina Press, 1975.)

Richardson, John, and Brian Leiter. Nietzsche (New York: Oxford U. Press, 2001). This important book that collects several writers in this analytic vein. They also throw in a couple essays by Nehamas and Foucault for "balance." I read this book in the Yucatan: strange experience.

Richardson, John. Nietzsche's System. (Oxford: Oxford U. Press, 1996). By one of the major representatives of this analytic trend.

- Existential Epistemology: A Heideggerian Critique of the Cartesian Project (1986).

Rikels, Laurence, ed. Looking After Nietzsche (Albany: SUNY Press, 1990)

Ridley, Aaron. Nietzsche's Conscience: Six Character Studies from the Genealogy. (Cornell U. Press: Ithaca and London, 1998.) Commentary on the "Genealogy of Morals" covering The Slave, The Priest, The Philosopher, The Artist, The Scientist, and The Noble.

Rorty, Richard. Contingency, Irony, and Solidarity (Cambridge U. Press, 1989). Probably our greatest living philosopher (tied with Davidson and Margolis, in my book.) As with all important philosophers, he reads N. in his own (in this case, postmodern pragmatist) way. Well worth reading.

Rosen, Stanley. The Mask of Enlightenment: Nietzsche's Zarathustra (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1995). O.K. commentary by a critic of analytic philosophy.

- The Question of Being: A Reversal of Heidegger. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1993)

- The Ancients and the Moderns (New Haven, Yale U. Press, 1989) Chapters 10, 11.

Russell, Bertrand. History of Western Philosophy. (London: George Allen and Unwin, 1979). Chapter on Nietzsche. Most scholars, for example Ridley, see this as a serious misreading of Nietzsche.

Sadler, Ted. Nietzsche, Truth and Redemption: Critique of the Postmodern Nietzsche (Atlantic Highlands, N.J.: Athlone Press, 1995)

Safranski, Rudiger. tr. Shelley Frisch. Nietzsche: A Philosophical Biography (W.W. Norton, 2001) "Nietzsche's philosophy as it evolved during his life, with a coda tracing his influence after his death."

Salome, Lou Andreas. Nietzsche ed. and trans. Siegfried Mandel. (Redding Ridge, Connecticut: Black Swan Books, 1988) [1911]. She was his only love. She wrote the first major biography of him. Contains some interesting insights.

Santaniello, Weaver, ed. Nietzsche and the Gods. (Albany: State University of New York Press, 2001.)

Sautet, Marc. Nietzsche for Beginners (New York: Writers and Readers Publishing, 1990). Comic book Nietzsche from a Marxist group who think of him as "the enemy." Fun to look at, but not too accurate.

Schacht, Richard. Nietzsche's Postmoralism: Essays on Nietzsche's Prelude to Philosophy's Future (Cambridge: U. Press: 2001). Latest collection by a master analytic N. scholar. N. as a reconstruction and not a deconstructive philosopher.

- Nietzsche, Genealogy, Morality: Essays on Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1994). This relatively recent collection is worth reading for those who are interested in these issues.

- Making Sense of Nietzsche: Reflections Timely and Untimely (Urbana and Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 1995). Meta-discussion of the various schools of thought on N. interpretation. If you like this sort of thing (as I do) it is a "must read."

- The Future of Alienation. (1994)

- Nietzsche (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1983). Classic analytic discussion of all of N.s main ideas. Tries to make N. systematic. (Ultimately fails: he was anti-systematic!)

- Hegel and After (1975)

- Alienation (1970)

Schrift, Alan D. ed. Why Nietzsche Still? Reflections on Drama, Culture, and Politics. (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2000.) Collection of essays that attempts to show how N. is still relevant, partly in response to recent French criticisms of Nietzsche.

- Nietzsche's French Legacy: A Genealogy of Poststructuralism. (New York: Routledge, 1995.) Good review of this material.

- Nietzsche and the Question of Interpretation (London: Routledge, 1991). Similar to the Schacht's meta-inquiry book, except from a French perspective. He has a good understanding of postmodern turns in N. studies.

Schutte, Ofelia. Beyond Nihilism: Nietzsche without Masks. (Chicago: University of Chicago press, 1984.) Not a bad discussion.

Silk, M. S. and Stern, J.P. Nietzsche on Tragedy (Cambridge: Cambridge U. Press, 1981). The classic on this topic. Very scholarly.

Solomon, Robert C., and Kathleen M. Higgins. What Nietzsche Really Said. (New York: Schocken Books, 2000.) I haven't read this, but it should be a good explication of N.s major views. Solomon and Higgins are a married team coming out of Austin, Texas.

Solomon, Robert and Kathleen M. Higgins. eds. Reading Nietzsche (New York: Oxford University Press, 1988). This is an excellent anthology of important essays.

Solomon, Robert. C. Living with Nietzsche: What the Great ‘Immoralist’ has to Teach Us (Oxford University Press, 2003)

- A Study of Nietzsche. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1979.)

- ed. Nietzsche: A Collection of Critical Essays (New York: Doubleday-Anchor, 1973). Even more important essays on N.

- From Rationalism to Existentialism (Rowman and Middlefield, 1992). One of the best histories of philosophy from 1640-1950: covers N. quite well. Solomon is one of the major N. scholars with an existential bent. He appears (transformed somewhat into a cartoon character) in the recent cult film, Waking Life, which is a "must see" for N. students.

Spinks, Lee Friedrich Nietzsche (Routledge : New York, 2003) "It is difficult to imagine a world without common sense, the distinction between truth and falsehood, the belief in some form of morality or an agreement that we are all human. But Friedrich Nietzsche did imagine such a world, and his work has become a crucial point of departure for contemporary critical theory and debate. This volume offers a lucid account of Nietzsche's thought on: antihumanism, good and evil, the 'Overman', nihilism, and the will to power."

Stack, George J. Nietzsche and Emerson: An Elective Affinity. (Athens: Ohio University Press, 1992.) N. admired Emerson.

- Nietzsche: Man, Knowledge, and Will to Power. (Wolfeboro, New Hampshire: Longwood Press, 1991.)

- Lange and Nietzsche (Berlin: de Gruyter, 1983). Lange was a materialist in the 19th century.

Stambaugh, Joan. Nietzsche's Thought of Eternal Return (Baltimore, Johns Hopkins University Press, 1972). Stambaugh does aesthetics, hence her approach to this eternal idea of Ns.

- The Other Nietzsche. (Albany: State University of New York Press, 1993.) Even more aesthetics-oriented.

- The Problem of Time in Nietzsche. (Philadelphia: Bucknell University Press, 1987.)

Staten, Henry. Nietzsche's Voice (Ithaca, New York: Cornell U. Press, 1990). Said to be an excellent book. I haven't finished it. Good so far.

Staumbaugh, Joan. The Problem of Time in Nietzsche (Associated Univ. Press: 1987)

Staumbaugh, Joan. Nietzsche's Thought of Eternal Return (Baltimore, 1972)

Stauth, Georg, and Bryan S. Turner. Nietzsche's Dance: Resentment, Reciprocity and Resistance in Social Life (Oxford and New York: Basil Blackwell, 1988). Nice title.

Steinbok, Thomas. A Commentary on Nietzsche's Ecce Homo. (Lanham, Maryland: University Press of America, 1994.)

Steinhard, Eric. On Nietzsche (Belmont: Wadsworth, 2000). Helpful, although perhaps over-academic introduction to N.

Stern, J.P. A Study of Nietzsche (New York: Cambridge U. Press, 1979). A useful introduction to N.

- Nietzsche. (Glasgow: William Collins Sons, 1978.) Cliff notes type of intro. to N.

Strong, Tracy. Friedrich Nietzsche and the Politics of Transfiguration (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1975). Despite the title, this is not just a discussion of N.s political philosophy. Good scholarly work.

Taffel,David Nietzsche Unbound: The Struggle for Spirit in the Age of Science (Paragon-House : New York, 2003) "The book penetrates to the heart of the mysterious meaning of Nietzsche and describes the acute relevance of his thought to all who are concerned to fashion a spiritually satisfying life in the midst of today's culture of rampant materialism and disenchantment. It presents a new and unusual interpretation of Nietzsche as a genuinely religious thinker who not only grasped the nature of humanity's current spiritual predicament, but also set forth an overlooked and truly revolutionary solution to it."

Tanner, Michael. Nietzsche (Oxford, New York: Oxford University Press, 1994). Another "cliff notes" type work. People seem to need this.

Taylor, Mark C. Deconstruction in Context: Literature and Philosophy. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press,1986.) The title explains it.

Tejera, N. Nietzsche and Greek Thought. (The Hague: Nijhoff, 1987.)

Toronto Press, 1970.) The early English reception of N.

Thomas, Douglas. Reading Nietzsche Rhetorically (Guilford Press, 1998) "how Nietzsche's provocative and playful use of language enables him not only to challenge accepted metaphysical truths, but also to reinvigorate rhetoric itself as an alternative means of generating meaning and value." Amazon book description.

Thomas, R. Hinton. Nietzsche in German Politics and Society 1890-1918. (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 1983.) Early German reception of N.

Vattimo, Gianni. Dialogue with Nietzsche (Columbia University Press, 2006). As this is a translation, it was probably published earlier. "Poised between the Heideggerian and French readings, Vattimo's reflections on historicism, nihilism, philosophy, and culture present Nietzsche as a thinker decisive for both the present and the future. Vattimo's dialogue, which spans almost forty years, will engage both Nietzsche scholars and anyone interested in twentieth-century European philosophical culture." -- Alan D. Schrift

The Adventure of Difference: Philosophy After Nietzsche and Heidegger tr. Cyprian Blamure (Cambridge: Polity Press, 1993). Vattimo is said to be a major postmodern pragmatist philosopher: the Italian Rorty. I think he is over-rated.

Williams, Linda. Nietzsche's Mirror: The World as Will to Power (Rowman and Littlefield, 2001). Traces the development of N.s concept of "will to power" through his various works. Sees "will to power" not as a metaphysical concept but as a heuristic divice.
