Anthony K. Jensen is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Providence College and Associate Editor of the Journal of Nietzsche Studies. He is the author of Nietzsche's Philosophy of History (Cambridge University Press, 2013) and, co-editor, with Helmut Heit, of Nietzsche as a Scholar of Antiquity (Bloomsbury, 2014).

"Anthony K. Jensen has successfully undertaken an essential project for the fields of Nietzsche studies and philosophy of history. […] his monograph is not simply a summary of the production, content, and reception of one of Nietzsche's early works; it is also a judicious philosophical evaluation of Nietzsche's views and arguments. It may not be the last word on HL, but the prospect of adding anything new and valuable is now daunting." -- Mark Alfano, Delft University, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews"Jensen’s original, insightful, and persuasive commentary offers us plenty of reasons to appreciate and reconsider this fascinating text, which Heidegger considered Nietzsche’s most important published work." -- Paul S. Loeb, Review of Metaphysics"Author of the well-received Nietzsche’s Philosophy of History, Jensen is remarkably versed in the historiography of the time. He has also immersed himself in the arcana of Nietzsche himself, embedding Nietzsche’s text within the surrounding Nachlass and an examination of the manuscripts in Weimar. […] thanks to his examination one’s entire conception of the work has been transformed." -- Daniel Blue, Philosophischer Literaturanzeiger
