Nietzsche: A Philosophical Biography (German: Nietzsche. Biographie seines Denkens) is a biography of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, written by Rüdiger Safranski and published by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2000. It focuses on the developments and changes of Nietzsche's philosophy, with little discussion of his personal life.
