Domenico Losurdo’s Nietzsche: Content and Context
Domenico Losurdo’s Nietzsche, the Aristocratic Rebel was a pioneering work in contextualising Nietzsche’s thought. Placing the content of his writings in the context of nineteenth-century politics and political theory, Losurdo corrected many errors in previous scholarship. He presents a more accurate account of Nietzsche’s early anti-Jewish proclivities and his later ambivalence toward Jews and Jewry. He also rectifies the misguided notion that N…

Nietzsche on Jewry, Degeneration, and Related Topics: Response to Ken Gemes
Ken Gemes's “The Biology of Evil” makes significant advances over previous discussions in its recognition of the centrality of the Jews in Nietzsche's account of the rise of slave morality, and in its differentiation between Nietzsche's virulent opposition to the anti-Semitic movements of his era and his embrace of prejudice regarding Jews and Jewry. There are three areas in which his claims are deficient, however. He does not realize Nietzsche's…
Nietzsche in the Nineteenth Century: Social Questions and Philosophical Interventions
Friedrich Nietzsche is often depicted in popular and scholarly discourse as a lonely philosopher dealing with abstract concerns unconnected to the intellectual debates of his time and place. Robert C. Holub counters this narrative, arguing that Nietzsche was very well attuned to the events and issues of his era and responded to them frequently in his writings. Organized around nine important questions circulating in Europe at the time in the real…

Nietzsche's Jewish Problem: Between Anti-Semitism and Anti-Judaism
For more than a century, Nietzsche's views about Jews and Judaism have been subject to countless polemics. The Nazis infamously fashioned the philosopher as their anti-Semitic precursor,while in the past thirty years the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction. The increasingly popular view today is that Nietzsche was not only completely free of racist tendencies but also was a principled adversary of anti-Jewish thought. This book offers a …
Jurgen Habermas: Critic in the Public Sphere
The most important intellectual in the Federal Republic of Germany for the past three decades, Habermas has been a seminal contributor to fields ranging from sociology and political science to philosophy and cultural studies. Although he has stood at the centre of concern in his native land, he has been less readily accepted outside Germany, particularly in the humanities. His theoretical work postulates the centrality of communication and unders…

Double Exposures: Repetition and Realism in Nineteenth-Century German Fiction
Downing, Eric. Double Exposures: Repetition and Realism in Nineteenth-Century German Fiction. Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 2000. 338 pp. $65.00 hardcover. Reviewing books, sometimes considered the drudge work of the profession, can on occasion be a genuine pleasure. Only on rare occasions have I read and enjoyed a book as much as Eric Downing's Double Exposures; most impressive are his lucidity, his sensitivity to textual detail, his …

Body Ascendant: Modernism and the Physical Imperative
Segel, Harold B. Body Ascendant: Modernism and the Physical Imperative. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins UP, 1998. 282 pp. $35.95. In Body Ascendant Harold Segel proposes that we look at modernism as a disenchantment with intellectuality and the mind, and a fascination with the physical body. Segel finds evidence for this thesis in many realms, from the preoccupation with dance and pantomime to skeptical views on language and the popularity of sports…

Nietzsche and the Jewish Question
One of the most striking features about the reception of the nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is that he is so rarely viewed in the context of Germany and Europe in the nineteenth century. Perhaps because of his self-proclaimed untimeliness1 he has been regarded almost exclusively as a harbinger of political, aesthetic, and philosophical tendencies of a later era. On the political front, he has been considered a proponent…

Trends in Literary Theory: The American Reception of Reception Theory
One of the most interesting pieces to appear recently in PMLA was Joel Conarroe's editorial column from January of 1980. In his brief remarks Conarroe gave the results of an internal survey or popularity poll which he had conducted on the basis of footnotes to 35 papers discussed by the editorial board of the journal in June of 1979. The results are hardly surprising to anyone even vaguely familiar with the vogues in contemporary criticism. Derri…

Rewriting an Ideological Consensus: Institutions, Nationalism, and the Function of Literature
At a time when Germany is heading towards a new national unity, the publication of Hohendahl's volume in English is perhaps even more germane than when the original appeared in 1985.* Reading this volume in the summer of 1990, one cannot help noticing comparisons to contemporary events. The democratic, reform-minded spirit that held center stage in the revolutionary months of October and November of 1989 has an obvious parallel in the efforts to …
