ABSTRACT
In the epilogue, the historical problem of left-wing Nietzscheanism—a problem both in that it seems to fly in the face of this study’s main contention, and on account of its abiding political import—will be revisited. Three main arguments apologetic of Nietzsche’s thought are successively subjected to critical scrutiny: Nietzsche’s objections to capitalism, which many on the left have found appealing; his disdain of the masses, which supposedly undermines any effort to link him to fascism; and, finally, the notion that left-wing Nietzscheanism is totally opposed to right-wing Nietzscheanism.
