Index.
Reader is of considerable value. It includes comprehensive
selections from Nietzsche's early, middle and late writings
in English. The chronological presentation of the selections is
particularly useful in helping students to appreciate
Nietzsche's philosophical development." International
Journal of Philosophical Studies
"The Nietzsche Reader offers an extremely
comprehensive collection of Nietzsche's philosophical
writings, ranging from his youthful essays on fate to the pithy,
epochal books written in the twilight of his sanity. Perfect for
classroom use, in any number of courses across a variety of
academic disciplines." Daniel W. Conway, The Pennsylvania
State University
"Thorough yet manageable, this Reader is an excellent
introduction to Nietzsche. The editors' balanced commentary
is accessible to the novice while still engaging for scholars. This
book is a great contribution to Nietzsche studies."
