His accusers identify in his ?superman? the origins of Nazism, and thus issue an irrevocable condemnation; his defenders pursue a hermeneutics of innocence founded ultimately in allegory. In a work that constitutes the most important contribution to Nietzschean studies in recent decades, Domenico Losurdo instead pursues a less reductive strategy. Taking literally the ruthless implications of Nietzsche's anti-democratic thinking ? his celebration of slavery, of war and colonial expansion, and eugenics ? he nevertheless refuses to treat these from the perspective of the mid-twentieth century. In doing so, he restores Nietzsche?s works to their complex nineteenth-century context, and presents a more compelling account of the importance of Nietzsche as philosopher than can be expected from his many contemporary apologists.
