In this monograph, Anthony K. Jensen provides a critical analysis and guide to Nietzsche's On the Uses and Disadvantage of History for Life, revealing a text that offers insight into the most important aspects of Nietzsche's then-contemporary philosophy of history. Jensen contextualizes the figures and movements that serve as Nietzsche's interlocutors, and situates this text within Nietzsche's larger philosophical project. Through an examination of Nietzsche's views, the author argues for the contemporary philosophical relevance of On the Uses and Disadvantage of History for Life, and advances the scholarly discussion of this oft-overlooked but nevertheless essential text.
