Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche

Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche was a German scholar and the sister of philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. She played a significant role in managing his legacy after his mental collapse, editing and promoting his works. Tragically, she also collaborated with nationalist and far-right groups, and some of her writings and associations have led to controversy over her influence on Nietzsche's ideas, particularly regarding nationalism and allegiance to authoritarian ideologies. Her actions and beliefs have complicated her reputation, often overshadowing her contributions to Nietzsche studies and her efforts to preserve her brother's philosophical legacy.
