The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading)

By H.L. Mencken and Dennis Sweet

H. L. Mencken’s The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (1908) was the first complete exposition of Nietzsche’s thought written in English. It provides a coherent and systematic picture of the tapestry that is Nietzsche’s philosophy. In several analyses Mencken almost seems to make Nietzsche’s point better than Nietzsche does.
