Review Quotes:
"Far from tedious, reading Nietzsche along with Lomax conjures the feeling of participating in a hunt. Lomax skillfully leads his reader over some of the darker and more difficult terrain in Beyond Good and Evil and through it into the human soul...Following Lomax following Nietzsche sharpens one's eye for both the significant articulations and the unifying sinews of a variegated and shifting world." --Tobin Craig, Boston College
"Harvey Lomax's fine book deepens our understanding of Nietzsche in several ways. It offers a precise account of the chief features of Beyond Good and Evil, it carefully discusses alternatives to Nietzsche's arguments, and it illuminates the difficult Nietzschean themes of eternal recurrence and the connection between religion and philosophy." --Mark Blitz
