Sarah Kofman was one of the greatest Nietzsche scholars in the nineties and she was also my professor. As I was recently reading Gianni Vattimo who is one of the meaningful philosopher of our age and himself a great Nietzsche scholar, I noticed that he quotes Sarah Kofman often. I was pleased to see that 30 years latter her voice still counts for the great thinkers. Her books are still published in English even though she was French 30 years latter.She decided to take her life the 15 October 1994 purposely on the 150 anniversary of the birth of Nietzsche. We waited for her a little too long on this cold Parisian morning of October 16 1994. Read her books: Nietzsche and the Philosophical Scene, Nietzsche and Metaphor, Explosion 1 and Explosion 2. She was an extraordinary philosopher.
