Walter Arnold Kaufmann taught more than 30 years as a professor at Princeton University and was renowned as a scholar and translator of Friedrich Nietzsche. (Wiki). This important study of Friedrich Nietzsche played a decisive role in the postwar rehabilitation of Nietzsche as a major philosopher rather than a proto-fascist or merely literary figure. Kaufmann examines Nietzsche's life and intellectual development and offers sustained analyses of his philosophy, psychology, ethics, views on Christianity, the concept of the will to power, and his relationship to such thinkers as Socrates, Plato, Kant, Schopenhauer, and Goethe.
