Reviews

'This work is simply the best, most sustained, book length exposition of Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals. As such it will be the reference point for all further scholarly work on the subject.' - Ken Gemes, Birkbeck College, University of London

'Offers one of the most comprehensive and compelling interpretations of Nietzsche's critique of morality to date. With its distinctive emphasis on naturalistic themes, it forms a very significant contribution to the study of Nietzsche, and is poised to become a work of reference in the field.' - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
