Walter Kaufmann

German-American philosopher at Princeton who translated Nietzsche's complete works into English and wrote the definitive English-language Nietzsche biography — rescuing Nietzsche from Nazi appropriation by demonstrating that the Will to Power manuscript was assembled by his anti-Semitic sister Elisabeth.

Made Nietzsche available to the English-speaking world through his translations and simultaneously defended him against the Nazi appropriation that had distorted his reception — demonstrating that Nietzsche was not a nationalist or anti-Semite but the most severe critic of German nationalism.
