Summary/Abstract: The aim of the present paper is rather modest in surveying the complicated intellectual routes linking the European Nietzsche and the American cultural and intellectual traditions, nor it explains why Nietzsche was so popular in the United States; instead, by commenting upon one of the most accurate and unbiased views on his philosophy, this study aims at explaining what themes were pervasively seductive for American philosophers and cultural critics, contributing in this way to a superior understanding of the relevant connections between Nietzsche and his American followers, be they sympathizers or detractors
