Nietzsche: A Selected Annotated Bibliography Beyond Good and EvilLampert, Laurence. Nietzsche’s Task: An Interpretation of Beyond Good and Evil. (New Haven: Yale University, 2001). JFE 02-5730 For Lampert, Nietzsche is, above all, a political philosopher. His detailed, section by section, commentary of Beyond Good and Evil also serves to support his interpretation that Nietzsche is arguing for a creation of a higher culture ruled by his new philosophers. It is a reading strongly influenced by Leo Strauss (see below). Strauss, Leo. “Notes on the Plan of Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil,” Interpretation 3 (Winter 1973), 97-113. JFL 95-120 Lawrence Lampert, in his book Leo Strauss and Nietzsche (which is essentially a detailed commentary of this essay) argues that this is “the most comprehensive and profound study ever published on Nietzsche.” p. 2. Nehamas, Alexander. “Who are ‘The Philosophers of the Future’?: A Reading of Beyond Good and Evil” in Reading Nietzsche, ed. Robert C. Solomon and Kathleen M. Higgins. (New York: Oxford University Press, 1988), 46-67. JFD 89-2052 Nehamas argues that we still don’t know how to read Beyond Good and Evil. It has often been read as a collection of brilliant, but disconnected essays and aphorisms. For Nehamas, it must be read “as a long, sustained, sometimes rambling and disorganized, but ultimately coherent, monologue.” p. 51.
