First sentence: The extent of Nietzsche's influence on Nazi ideology has been the object of a great debate among scholars: the problems of interpretation of the philosopher's writings have indeed stirred profound controversy over the Nietzsche-Nazi connection, and the debate has until this day not been resolved, the Nietzsche scholars still being divided into three main categories or approaches: first, those who view Nietzsche as a 'Nazi'; second, those who view him as partly a Nazi; and third, those who view Nietzsche as anti-Nazi.
