Nietzsche and R}}e A Star Friendship [Hardcover]

Nietzsche and R?eis about the intellectual partnership of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) and Paul R?e (1849-1901). Robin Small combines biography with philosophy to give the first full-length account of a friendship that made major contributions to modern thought before it ended in intellectual differences and a painful breakdown of personal relations. Drawing on a wealth of original scholarship, Small presents an absorbing and often dramatic story, shedding valuable new light on of one of the most important of modern thinkers.
