Babette Babich (born 14 November 1956, in New York City) is an American philosopher known for her studies of Nietzsche, Heidegger, Anders, Adorno, and Hölderlin as well as for her work in aesthetics, including philosophy of music but also film, television, and digital media, as well as life-size bronzes in antiquity (Greek sculpture), and continental philosophy, especially the philosophy of science and technology.
In addition, Babich has foregrounded the role of politics in institutional philosophy (the analytic-continental divide) as well as gender in the academy.
A student of Hans-Georg Gadamer, Babich also worked with Jacob Taubes and Paul Feyerabend among others.
In 1996, Babich founded (and edits) the journal New Nietzsche Studies, echoing the spirit of the 1974 book, The New Nietzsche, the pathbreaking collection edited by David Blair Allison.
