Review: Know what you are buying so you are not dissapointed. - Walter Kaufmann gives the best translation. This book gives you 3 full translations on Nietzsche books. Twilight of the idols, the Antichrist, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. (TSZ is arguably his best book.) I would also recommend that you pick up "Basic Writings of Nietzsche" that book contains 4 more full translations by Kaufmann. They are The Birth of Tragedy, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morals and Ecce Homo. The only three copies that are missing from these two books are Human, All Too Human, The Antichrist, and The Will to Power. ( The Will to Power Nietzsche didn't finish. So it's more about product of his sister who pieced it together.)
Review: Praise for Nietzsche, Shaker of Foundations, to Abet Christian Thought - The Kaufmann edition of Nietzsche shows its superiority by its longevity; the PORTABLE NIETZSCHE has been out for about 50 years of continuous availability. I read Nietzsche to get a jolt to my Christian pre-concepts. It is clear that Nietzsche thought little of Christianity and wrote several deliberately blasphemous accounts of Jesus and his sway over Europe in the 19th century...What is less clear is that the Christian cannot avoid the ugly side of his/her nest and needs to invite the gadfly betimes to open rebuke-- exactly as Jesus Himself did to the Judaism of the 1st century-- of which He was a pious Pharisee exemplar. That Nietzsche was a hero to the Nazis is a fact that Kaufmann in introduction is careful to 'dance around'; nevertheless reading Nietzsche is just as important--yea more so-- for understanding DUNKEL ROMANTISCHKEIT as understanding the mad genius of MEIN KAMPH. When one needs to 'shake the foundations' (see book of this ilk by Paul Tillich & Isaiah 24:18) such a look at the darkness Nietzsche presents can be stimulating. --Vernon Lynn Stephens

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Praise for Nietzsche, Shaker of Foundations, to Abet Christian Thought
*by B***E on September 29, 2010*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Another excellent translation with explanatory information by Walter Kaufmann
*by Z***Z on January 14, 2024*

Make sure if you are buying Nietzsche, you are buying the Walter Kauffmann translations. This is perfect and has lots of explanatory information from him, the world's foremost Nietzsche scholar.
