The Safranski book has lots of virtues, and it offers generally competent summaries of N's books. But Safranski is no philosopher, and he doesn't tackle any hard philosophical or interpretive question, whereas Young does. So Young's biography is more philosophically ambitious and successful Brian Leiterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08749548844483929392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373556239088388790.post-10605643941336008282010-04-01T06:04:25.369-06:002010-04-01T06:04:25.369-06:00Thanks for your blog and for this entry - I've...Thanks for your blog and for this entry - I've just ordered the book and look forward to receiving it and (hopefully) reading it (got too damn many books in the queue). I enjoyed the Safransky book - would be curious as to some of the criticisms of that book and how Young's book compares on those criticisms.<br /><br />Again - thanks for your blog - love to read posts whenever you post!Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605263881837566901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373556239088388790.post-37762365619468996022010-03-17T19:35:21.896-06:002010-03-17T19:35:21.896-06:00How would you say this book compares with Brobjer&...How would you say this book compares with Brobjer's <i>Nietzsche's Philosophical Context</i>?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373556239088388790.post-71988459244684030892010-03-13T20:57:06.495-06:002010-03-13T20:57:06.495-06:0017 downloadable musical compositions related to th...<a href="http://www.cambridge.org/uk/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=9780521871174&ss=res" rel="nofollow">17 downloadable musical compositions</a> related to the book.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546265581296919974noreply@blogger.com
