Review Quotes:
"Perhaps no other intellectual figure has exerted such a powerful influence on philosophical, literary, and cultural modernism as Friedrich Nietzsche. This volume, edited by Brian Pines and Douglas Burnham, showcases essays that illuminate well the character of this influence and in all its audacious and dazzling glory." --Keith Ansell-Pearson, Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick, UK
"Approaching the massive profile of Nietzsche's work from a plethora of new, partly text-specific, and partly overarching angles, Brian Pines and Douglas Burnham have put together a volume that both suggests and initiates a complex conversation with our twenty-first-century present, an environment still far from being captured in a conceptually transparent and consensual way. They thus decisively leave behind a state of discussion that was locked in the sterile question of whether Nietzsche's thought had a place within 'modernity' as a straight line of progress." --Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Albert Guérard Professor in Literature, Emeritus, Stanford University, USA
