Reviews
This book shows an often neglected part of Friedrich Nietzsche's intellectual activity: his scholarship in classical studies. Beyond many important findings in detail, the authors of Nietzsche as a Scholar of Antiquity - leading international experts - are able to demonstrate how Nietzsche's philosophy still remains based on his philological origin. Therefore, this volume is not only important for intellectual historians, but also for philosophers having recognised the importance of context in understanding philosophy. Andreas Urs Sommer, Nietzsche-Kommentar, Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, Germany In this rich collection of essays, Nietzsche's debts to Greek antiquity are meticulously researched and judiciously reckoned. An impressive display of erudition and philological acuity by an international cohort of scholars. Daniel Conway, Head of Philosophy and Humanities, Texas A&M University, USA This excellent volume assembles papers by some of the finest classicists and Nietzsche scholars. Anthony Jensen and Helmut Heit have edited the single most important contribution to the research and evaluation of Nietzsche's status as a scholar of Antiquity published so far in English. Joao Constancio, Director of the Nietzsche International Lab, and Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal While it has not been forgotten that Nietzsche was a scholar and philologist before he was a philosopher, his work in those areas has been largely ignored. Nietzsche as a Scholar of Antiquity by Anthony K. Jensen and Helmut Heit (eds.) seeks to correct this defect by exploring impact of Nietzsche's academic work both on his philosophy and on the discipline of philology [...] Overall, this volume is an excellent addition to the corpus of Nietzsche scholarship, and one that will be of interest to Classical scholars as well. Highly recommended. -- Coyle Neal, Southwest Baptist University Bryn Mawr Classical Review
