Abstract
Our ability today to read Friedrich Nietzsche’s extraordinary body of work is affected by the remarkable weight of commentary that it has already produced, and the passionate untimely identifications the German philosopher of the Second Reich continues to produce. For a long time a key, avowed inspiration of movements of the political Far Right, Nietzsche was reborn in the anglosphere, and Parisian academe, as a rebellious, individualistic hero of the New Left after 1960, a philosopher of difference, an antipolitical friend to artists who “would not hurt a fly”, as Hitchcock’s Norman Bates said.
