Reviews

...an intellectually rewarding book, well written and well argued. Robert Wicks, The Philosophical Quarterly Vol 62 No 244 July 2011

Intelligent and illuminating.... A valuable resource for Nietzsche scholars. There are ample rewards in terms of intelligent and discerning exposition of difficult passages, lucid placing of themes and arguments in historical context, and a rich and sympathetic appreciation of Nietzsche's style, bot as a therapeutic tool and for the the philosophical assumption that underlie it. --Brian Leiter, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews<br> A superb study.... Janaway consistently offers fresh insights and nuanced observations about the text, its structure, the motives behind its composition, its arguments and its philosophical methods, or rather, tactics. --Taylor Carman, Times Literary Supplement<br>
