Meticulously researched, but based on a totally wrong premise. The famous passage Star Friendship from The Gay Science (IV: 279) couldn't have been about Rée, as at the time of writing it in April 1882 Nietzsche was still friends with him. It is, without a doubt, about Wagner:" - We are friends and have become estranged. But this was right, and we do not want to conceal and obscure it from ourselves, as if we had reason to feel ashamed.

The philosophical account is equally absorbing, showing how this collaboration was a crucial stage on Nietzsche's way toward his most original and radical contributions to philosophy. Yet he eventually came to criticise and reject 'Réealism' as inadequate to the task of a revaluation of values, and replaced the 'historical approach' with his own genealogy of morality. The full story has not been told before. In doing so, it brings to light fresh aspects of one of the most important of modern thinkers.. This book gives the 'star friendship' of Nietzsche and Rée the treatment it has always needed. Yet many personal details are presented here for the first time. Both aspects of his work made a strong impact on Nietzsche, who developed this project in his own way in a series of works starting with Human, All-Too-Human. 'Rd'eealism' was the label Nietzsche gave to Rée's naturalistic doctrine, which drew on the evolutionary theory of natural selection to explain the moral concepts of good, evil, conscience and justice. In a strikingly poetic passage in The Gay Science, Nietzsche describes a 'star friendship': the brief meeting of two stars whose paths cross and then diverge forever, perhaps as part of some pattern beyond
