Nietzschean Morality and the English Translation Debate
A critical review of Nietzsche and his translator Thomas Common argues that Nietzsche exposes morality as an instrument for the weak, while revealing the limits of German esprit in English. The piece notes Nietzsche's shocks to convention, Carlyle’s influence, and the translator’s role in shaping reception.
