 Nietzsche and Buddhism: A Study in Nihilism and Ironic Affinities
Morrison points out that they share many common features: both emphasise the centrality of humans in a godless cosmos and neither looks to any external being or power for their respective solutions to the problem of existence.

Morrison shows that Nietzsche was interested in early Buddhism, not Mahayana, which gives his comparison the focus it needs.
