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. \u003ci\u003eNietzsche's Jewish Problem \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a definitive reappraisal of the controversy, taking the full historical, intellectual, and biographical context into account. As Robert Holub shows, a careful consideration of all the evidence from Nietzsche's published and unpublished writings and letters reveals that he harbored anti-Jewish prejudices throughout his life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNietzsche's Jewish Problem \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates how this is so despite the apparent paradox of the philosopher's well-documented opposition to the crude political anti-Semitism of the Germany of his day. As Holub explains, Nietzsche's \"anti-anti-Semitism\" was motivated more by distaste for vulgar nationalism than by any objection to anti-Jewish prejudice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA richly detailed account of a controversy that goes to the heart of Nietzsche's reputation and reception, \u003ci\u003eNietzsche's Jewish Problem \u003c\/i\u003ewill fascinate anyone interested in philosophy, intellectual history, or the history of anti-Semitism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert C.
