He single-handedly rehabilitated Nietzsche's reputation after World War II and was enormously influential in introducing postwar American readers to existentialism. Stanley Corngold provides the first in-depth study of Kaufmann's thought, showing how he speaks to many issues that concern us today. Kaufmann was astonishingly prolific until his untimely death at age fifty-nine, writing some dozen major books, all marked by breathtaking erudition and a provocative essayistic style. Corngold introduces Kaufmann to a new generation of readers, vividly portraying the intellectual life of one of the twentieth century's most engaging and neglected thinkers.","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46864337240215,"sku":"9780691211534","price":3041.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780691211534.webp?v=1769973915","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/walter-kaufmann-philosopher-humanist-heretic-9780691211534","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
