This substantially enriched third edition of a bounteous resource in Anglophone Nietzsche scholarship begins with a brief chronology of the colossally influential, late 19th-century German philosopher's life and works. Diethe covers Nietzsche's student days in the 1860s to his irreversible mental collapse in the late 1880s. A densely informative 59-page introduction spans his life, published works, and brief histories of the reception and influence of his thought among philosophers and cultural figures in Germany, France, Great Britain, the US, Italy, Spain and the Hispanic world, Russia, Japan, and China. Sixteen pages of images include Nietzsche from his youthful student days to adulthood, as well as family, scholarly friends, and acquaintances. Usefully teeming with cross-references, the 400-plus encyclopedic entries cover, in addition to familiar Nietzschean themes and concepts, a remarkably diverse array of figures and movements that, either as predecessors or contemporaries, influenced Nietzsche's thought, or have subsequently borne his influence. The volume concludes with a thematically organized, 40-page bibliography of Nietzsche's works, translations thereof, and scholarship organized by interpretive approaches, a focus on individual works, and by reception throughout the world. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers.
