In a clearly Nietzschean vein...
If the phrase to be translated were merely "en una línea nietzscheana," then the most natural phrasing would simply be "following Neitzsche." Alas, you need to capture "clara" as well and, for this purpose, I think that my suggestion is somewhat more natural than that of Francois.
Another (rather freer) option would be, "In a bold echo of Nietzsche...."

Muses Inc
: I like 'vein'. Depending a bit more on the context, 'In true Nietzschean vein' might also work.

Along clearly Nietzschean lines
If you google "along Nietzschean lines", you should get around 300 hits. I haven't tried it with "clearly"...
I'm unable to post Google Books links on proz for some reason, but here are some samples:
"Especially since in their work the concept of form has a central place, and is elaborated along Nietzschean lines."

... etc.
