3.An Interpretation of Nietzsche’s “On the Uses and Disadvantages of History for Life” (London: Routledge, 2016).

“Jensen has successfully undertaken an essential project for the fields of Nietzsche studies and philosophy of history. [...] his monograph is not simply a summary of the production, content, and reception of one of Nietzsche's early works; it is also a judicious philosophical evaluation of Nietzsche's views and arguments. It may not be the last word on HL, but the prospect of adding anything new and valuable is now daunting.” Mark Alfano, Delft University,Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.

“Author of the well-received Nietzsche’s Philosophy of History,Jensen is remarkably versed in the historiography of the time. He has also immersed himself in the arcana of Nietzsche himself, embedding Nietzsche’s text within the surrounding Nachlass and an examination of the manuscripts in Weimar.[…] [T]hanks to his examination one’s entire conception of the work has been transformed.” Daniel Blue, PhilosophischerLiteraturanzeiger.

4.Nietzsche as a Scholar of Antiquity,with Helmut Heit (eds.) (London: Bloomsbury, 2014).

  1. “弗里德里希尼采: 古代学者,” translated into Chinese by Dr. Lu Yu (East China University Press, forthcoming, 2017).

“This collection succeeds in demonstrating the richness and complexity of Nietzsche’s conflicted years as a professor of classical philology, as well as revealing how some of the roots of his momentous later ideas about language, culture, religion and morality lie embedded in his intense early reflections on antiquity.” Stephen Halliwell, University of Saint Andrews, The Classical Review.

“The essays included in this volume are wide-ranging, informative and engaging, and offer an excellent orientation to those looking to understand Nietzsche’s philology and its relationship to contemporary scholarly contexts.” Adam Lecznar, The Agonist.

“Overall, this volume is an excellent addition to the corpus of Nietzsche scholarship, and one that will be of interest to Classical scholars as well. Highly recommended.” Coyle Neal, Bryn Mawr Classical Review.

“Beyond many important findings in detail, the authors of Nietzsche as a Scholar of Antiquity – leading international experts – are able to demonstrate how Nietzsche’s philosophy still remains based on his philological origin. Therefore, this volume is not only important for intellectual historians, but also for philosophers having recognised the importance of context in understanding philosophy.”Andreas Urs Sommer, Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, Germany.

“In this rich collection of essays, Nietzsche's debts to Greek antiquity are meticulously researched and judiciously reckoned. An impressive display of erudition and philological acuity by an international cohort of scholars.” Daniel Conway, Texas A&M University, USA.

“This excellent volume assembles papers by some of the finest classicists and Nietzsche scholars. Anthony Jensen and Helmut Heit have edited the single most important contribution to the research and evaluation of Nietzsche's status as a scholar of Antiquity published so far in English.” Joao Constancio, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal.

5.Nietzsche’s Philosophy of History (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2013).

“…it is obvious that Jensen’s volume represents an exceptional piece of scholarship, both in the breadth of its survey and in the detail of its research. This book is certain to become an important resource for philosophers of history and Nietzsche scholars alike, and to provoke renewed attention to this important, but under-investigated area of research.” Andrew Jampol-Petzinger (Fordham) / New Nietzsche Studies.

“Such historical sense and valuable eruditionallows [Jensen] to present a quite exhaustive picture of the context of philology of the nineteenth century, which, in turn, allows him to place Nietzsche in context and interpret the changes taking place in the […]Nietzschean philosophy of history…” Zaida Olvera / Estudios Nietzsche

“Jensen construes Nietzsche’s position in detailed exchange with classical, neo-Kantian, and contemporary texts in the philosophy of history. […] Thanks to this study, Nietzsche emerges in original ways as an important historian and philosopher of history.” Helmut Heit / Nietzsche-Studien.

“…a strong combination of philology, intellectual history, and philosophical interpretation. […] Jensen has explicated [Nietzsche’s views] convincingly without eschewing complexities and framed them in a way that validates beyond doubt his claims regarding the importance of understanding Nietzsche’s philosophy of history.” Mason Golden / British Journal of the History of Philosophy.

“By placing Nietzsche’s thought in its intellectual-historical context, while at the same time deploying contemporary terminology, Jensen produces a succinct, memorable, and effective response to the question as to whether or not Nietzsche’s writings […] are governed by a discernible and distinctive philosophy of history.” Peter Fenves (Northwestern) / History and Theory.

“…a comprehensive and profound study of Nietzsche's philosophy of history,which Jensen carries out with great rigor, precision, and a mastery of sources, without neglecting clarity and simplicity of exposition. It thus proves extremely valuable for understanding not only the roots and development of Nietzsche's devotion to historical research,but alsothe importancethistakes withinhis own philosophical project.Itpositions Nietzsche in thehistoriographical context ofhis time and helpsto elucidatethe influence of his thought upon contemporary philosophy of history. [...] This is a reference work for any researcher who is interested in Nietzsche's Philosophy of History.” Marta Faustino (IFILNOVA) /Práticas da História.

“Jensen shows himself immersed in Nietzsche’s cultural and philosophical background to a higher degree than many more-established scholars. Not a book for non-specialists, his is an excellent book for scholars, giving a broadly chronological account of the nature and development of Nietzsche’s thinking about an under-discussed topic.” Tom Stern (University College London) / Times Literary Supplement, 05.09.2014.

“[T]he first systematic overview of Nietzsche's work on history to plot all the details of his thinking about history and the philosophy of history with scrupulous care. […] this book is a meticulous work of scholarship. It will be indispensable for future discussions of the topic. Choice Classification: Highly Recommended.” Richard White (Creighton) / Choice Reviews Online.

“This tightly argued and elegantly written book is the first comprehensive study of Nietzsche's philosophy of history. […] Exhibiting an enviable command of both primary and secondary sources, Jensen develops his argument by focusing on the question of objectivity and the value of historical description and explanation. […] Jensen's book is an important contribution that both clarifies and complicates our understanding of Nietzsche's philosophy of history. Any account of Nietzsche's ‘historical philosophizing,’ and of his genealogical project, will have to take Jensen's insights on board.” Christian Emden (Rice) / Journal of Nietzsche Studies.

“The scholarly erudition of Jensen's book is impressive. He displays a deep knowledge of Nietzsche's texts and notebooks and of the texts of many contemporaries of Nietzsche, some of whom have fallen into obscurity. Jensen does careful philological work in drawing on these in a usefully informative way, so that the reader learns a great deal about Nietzsche's intellectual milieu and influences. [...] those who approach the topic later will need to grapple with his interpretation.” Andrew Huddleston (Oxford) / Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews.
