This article is about the book by H. L. Mencken. For Nietzsche's philosophy, see Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche.
The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche is a book by H. L. Mencken, the first edition in 1908. The book covers both better and lesser known areas of Friedrich Nietzsche's life and philosophy. It is notable both for its suggestion of Mencken's still-developing literary talents at the age of 27 and for its impressive detail as the first book on Nietzsche written in English (only seven years after Nietzsche's death) considering the lack of reliable interpretations of Nietzsche in the Western sphere of letters at the time; Mencken prepared for writing this book by reading all of Nietzsche's published philosophy, including several works in the original German.[1][2]
