Abstract:
Contends that Nietzsche was neither a racist nor an antisemite, and that he opposed the use of his works for racist and antisemitic purposes. In letters and other works written in the 1880s, he often praised the Jews and criticized the Germans. The severance of his relationship with Richard Wagner attests to his opposition to German nationalism and racism. Nietzsche blamed the Jews for initiating what he considered the Judeo-Christian weakening of "natural morality", since Jewish priests in the Second Temple period, and later Paul, advocated the salvation of the weak and thereby undermined Roman aristocratic values. However, while he demonized Christianity, he believed that the Jews, who had contributed so much to the world, could become part of a new elite. His view that, through assimilation, the Jews could become rulers of Europe was later distorted by the Nazis to support their Jewish world conspiracy theory.
