Rezensionen

"Its thirty-one commentaries offer comprehensive coverage of the
significant areas of philosophical concern to Nietzsche. This
collection is without doubt a very significant contribution to
Nietzsche studies." International Journal of Philosophical
Studies

"This is a monster of a book, in the true Nietzschean
sense. The collection represents most of the very best Nietzsche
scholarship being done today in Europe and the United
States." Graham Parkes, University of Hawaii

"This new addition to an excellent series assembles an
inspired cast of Nietzsche scholars, representing a wide spectrum
of approaches. After two helpful introductions to Nietzsche's life,
philosophy, and style, the essays address the most familiar
Nietzschean themes, as well as important but more neglected ones,
such as his conception of science." David Cooper,
University of Durham

"Historiographically and critically, this companion could not be
better. It is a gateway to what is going on now critically in this
feild, an introduction to the best criticism, and an exemplar of
philosophical inquiry in it's own right." Stuart Hannabuss,
Abeedeen Business School

"This worthwhile collection portrays many of the most preeminent
Nietzschean scholars in Europe and the US . . . It offers a moving
array of Nietzsche scholars who represent a plethora of approaches.
Recommended."
