Reviews
'This is a superb intellectual history of Nietzsche's philosophical quest to emancipate his self-legislating spirit from the debilitating influences of metaphysics, religion, morality, and the scientific desire for truth at all costs.' Paul S. Loeb, University of Puget Sound, Washington
'Matthew Meyer's ambitious and exciting new book ... is not only the most illuminating study we now have of Nietzsche's middle period, but an important call to a very different way of approaching Nietzsche's whole oeuvre.' Agonist
'... genuinely thought-provoking ... will stimulate productive discussions about the meaning and significance of Nietzsche's middle works for many years to come.' Journal of Nietzsche Studies
