Burnham, Douglas: Reading Nietzsche

"Beyond Good and Evil" is a comprehensive statement of Nietzsche's mature philosophy and is an ideal entry point into Nietzsche's work as a whole. This work explains the key concepts, the range of Nietzsche's concerns, and highlights Nietzsche's writing strategies that are the key to understanding his work and processes of thought."An engaging, detailed and lucid guide to one of Nietzsche's most important works. Reading Nietzsche brings out the exciting and vibrant nature of Nietzsche's writing. A great introduction to Nietzsche and a sophisticated commentary on Beyond Good and Evil."- Claire Colebrook, University of Edinburgh, UK"No one can expect to win a war of wits with Nietzsche. What Reading Nietzsche offers is a commentary that is reflective, expansive, judicious and accurate. First-time readers of Nietzsche will benefit from having this book by their side as a guide, whilst readers more familiar with Beyond Good and Evil will benefit from the reflective passages on particularly knotty sections." - Rex Welshon, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, US
