Nietzsche's Jewish Problem: Between Anti-Semitism and Anti-Judaism

by Robert C. Holub Author

Nietzsche's views on Jews and Judaism have long been debated, with some interpreting him as an anti-Semite and others as a staunch opponent of anti-Jewish sentiment. Recent scholarship challenges the idea that Nietzsche was free of racist tendencies, revealing that he held anti-Jewish prejudices throughout his life. Despite his opposition to the crude nationalism of his time, Nietzsche's "anti-anti-Semitism" was more about rejecting political anti-Semitism than about denouncing anti-Jewish prejudice. This nuanced analysis explores the complexity of his beliefs within the broader historical and intellectual context, offering a deeper understanding of his views on race and identity.
