Clayton Koelb is Professor of German and Comparative Literature at the University of Chicago.

"This book addresses the quite timely question of the place of Nietzsche's thought with respect to the Western tradition; the question whether Nietzsche defines or denies the very notion of philosophy as a tradition. With recent shifts in philosophical movements, especially those following in the wake of Heidegger, Nietzsche's work, always of interest, takes on a new and enlarged significance. The topic is extraordinarily timely and significant not just to these times." — Dennis J. Schmidt, State University of New York at Binghamton
