The Nietzsche Dictionary (Bloomsbury Philosophy Dictionaries)

Nietzsche is not difficult to read, but he is famously difficult to understand. This is because of the bewildering array of words, phrases or metaphors that he uses. The Nietzsche Dictionary aims to help, by giving readers a road map to Nietzsche's language, and thus how his terminology and images relate together, forming an overall philosophical picture. The Dictionary also includes synopses of Nietzsche's key works, and short articles on the main philosophical and cultural influences leading up to, and resulting from, Nietzsche. It is designed to be a resource that all readers of Nietzsche will find invaluable, from beginners to more advanced readers. In order to make the book easy to use and navigate, all entries are treated thematically and are of seven types: 1. Influences on, or the contemporary context of, Nietzsche 2. Major influences of Nietzsche 3. Key concepts 4. Key metaphors or images 5. Alternative translations of the above 6. Other words or phrases found in Nietzsche that are cross-referenced to a main entry 7. Synopses of major works by Nietzsche.
