Mariupol State University Press has published the Ukrainian translation of my Nietzsche and the Nazis book. Much thanks to Dr. Przemysław Zientkowski for initiating the project and to the team at MSUP for producing it.
Here is is the book’s description in English:
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) is famous for his statement that “God is dead” and his provocative account of Master and Slave moralities — and for the fact that Adolf Hitler and the Nazis claimed that Nietzsche was one of their great inspirations.
Were the Nazis right to do so — or did they misappropriate Nietzsche’s philosophy?
In this book — based on the script of the 2006 video documentary — Stephen Hicks asks and answers the following questions:
* What were the key elements of Hitler and the National Socialists’ political philosophy?
* How did the Nazis come to power in a nation as educated and civilized as Germany?
* What was Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy — the philosophy of “Live dangerously” and “That which does not kill us makes us stronger”?
* And to what extent did Nietzsche’s philosophy provide a foundation for the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis?
Stephen Hicks, Ph.D., is Professor of Philosophy and Executive Director of the Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship at Rockford University, Illinois. He is the author of Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault
(Scholargy, 2004) and articles in publications such as The Review of Metaphysics, Business Ethics Quarterly, and The Wall Street Journal.
