Nietzsche in the Nineteenth Century shows how Nietzsche formulated his thought in an ongoing dialogue with the concerns of his contemporaries and how his philosophy can be conceived as a contribution to the debates taking place in Europe at the time in the realms of politics, society, and science.

Reviews

"Nietzsche famously described himself as an 'untimely' thinker. Yet his thought was deeply embedded in the debates of his time. In nine sharp chapters ranging from the women's question and colonialism to anti-Semitism and eugenics, Robert Holub sheds revealing light on the oftentimes surprising origin and development of Nietzsche's ideas from out of the arguments and disputes that shaped intellectual life during the latter half of the nineteenth century. A must read for anyone interested in understanding Nietzsche and his importance for us today."—Hugo Drochon, University of Cambridge
