You've a lot of company in that view, especially on the Continent. And a lot of people in the more classical tradition do fail to pay sufficient attention to the fact that all philosophizing about the subject-object relationship takes place within the subject-object relationship. Existentialists/phenomenologists get that, but I'm afraid they go completely over the top with it. Give me Aristotle, Hume, Kant, and Anglo-American analytical philosophy.
I've read a little Nietzsche, but not in Kaufmann translations. I do have a collection of existentialist writings that he edited, some of which he also translated.

All of the metaphysics, epistemology, and aesthetic principles on the planet can't hold a candle to a solid existential read. That is, of course, my opinion. ;D
On that note, has anyone ever read any of the Kaufmann translations of Nietzsche?
