Reviews
[A] stimulating and delightful book...Anti-Nietzsche is charming, but Bull's argument is also subtle and deep * Times Literary Supplement *
Seven witty, erudite, and highly stylized chapters. Recommended. * CHOICE *
Anti-Nietzsche pursues Nietzsche's logic but pulls out all the stops. * The New Inquiry *
The breadth and depth of Bull's scholarship are ... incredibly impressive. * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
Bull is an excellent writer of philosophical prose... it is hard to deny the boldness of his thinking, or the seductive force of his writing * Times Higher Education *
Bull's book deserves attention both as a scholarly engagement with continental philosophy and political theory, and as a challenging intervention into contemporary left politics. * Socialism and Democracy *
