Historical dictionary of Nietzscheanism1999

"Few philosophers have been as popular, prolific, or controversial as Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900), who left his imprint not only on philosophy but on all the arts. From his concept of the Ubermensch to his nihilistic view of the world, Nietzsche's writings have aroused both enormous interest and vitriolic anathema in scholars for over a century. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Nietzscheanism brings together into one reference many of the ideas and concepts developed by this influential 19th-century philosopher. It provides a chronology, a glossary, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on Nietzsche's major writings, contemporaries, and successors."--Jacket.
