Summary: Groundbreaking Nietzsche scholarship
Comment: This book is a translation of Stambaugh's doctoral dissertation written in Germany under the title _Untersuchungen zum Problem der Zeit bei Nietzsche_ in 1958. Much of what Stambaugh writes (which should be noted was in criticism of and opposition to contemporary Nietzsche scholarship at the time in Germany as represented by Lowith and Heidegger) would later become standard in Nietzsche studies through the publication of Deleuze's _Nietzsche et la philosophie_ in 1962: e.g., the resolution of the "conflict" of the so-called teleological character of the concept of will to power and the non-teleological eternal return by delineating Nietzsche's understanding of "will" as naturalistic and cosmological rather than anthropomorphic; the explication of Nietzshce's anti-Newtonian concept of space as relations of force rather than formal. Stambaugh provides a wealth of information and ingenious interpretation that cannot be touched upon in this limited space. The only issue I have is with her contention that Nietzsche's concept of time remains formal. I am not sure the agrument she presents throughout leads to this conclusion. But this is perhaps a mere semantic difference and need not contain the force of Nietzsche's thought of eternal return as such, which Stambaugh readily concedes.

If you are interested in understanding Nietzsche's ontological explications of will to power and eternal return this is the best book available in English.
