She discusses his writings and such biographical events as his break with Wagner, attempting to ferret out the man in the midst of his works. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Salom 's provocative conclusion -- that Nietzsche's madness was the inevitable result of his philosophical views -- generated considerable controversy. Nietzsche's sister, Elisabeth F rster-Nietzsche, dismissed the book as a work of fantasy. Yet the philosopher's longtime acquaintance Erwin Rohde wrote, \"Nothing better or more deeply experienced or perceived has ever been written about Nietzsche.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Siegfried Mandel's extensive introduction examines the circumstances that brought Lou Salom  and Nietzsche together and the ideological conflicts that drove them apart. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLou Salome\u003c\/b\u003e (1861-1937) was the author of \u003ci\u003eIbsen's Heroines, Freud, Rilke, \u003c\/i\u003e and other books. \u003cb\u003eSiegfried Mandel\u003c\/b\u003e was a professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado and the author of \u003ci\u003eNietzsche and the Jews: Exaltation and Denigration, Rainer Maria Rilker: The Poetic Instinct, \u003c\/i\u003e and other books. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50513977639186,"sku":"9780252070358","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_1b0517e2-887f-49b0-a182-458bb99a16c5.jpg?v=1730969703","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/nietzsche-9780252070358","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
