Nietzsche, The Aristocratic Rebel by Domenico Losurdo
This book reads Nietzsche as an avowedly anti-egalitarian, anti-democratic thinker whose genealogical critique of morality, celebration of the will to power, and aestheticized ethics amount to an aristocratic radicalism that rejects liberalism, socialism, and Christian humility; it situates his ideas in their nineteenth-century political and intellectual context, traces the ambivalent but real affinities between his elitist rhetoric and conservative or proto-fascist movements, and highlights the tensions and contradictions in his attitudes (including his fraught relation to anti-Semitism), arguing that his philosophy has important and problematic political consequences.
