Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Using this revised version of psychoanalytic theory, Wolfenstein then conducts a psychobiography of Nietzsche. He contends that Nietzsche philosophized from within a transitional space between the maternal and paternal extremes of the male imaginary, a space in which gender identity is notably unstable, and sublimity consorts with the most abject misery. This psychic location is the impetus for Nietzsche's conceptions of eternal return and the feminine.".
