Biography
Justin Remhof is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Old Dominion University. He specializes in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century European Philosophy and Metaphysics. His work has appeared in journals that include European Journal of Philosophy, History of Philosophy Quarterly, Journal of Nietzsche Studies, and Nietzsche-Studien.
"Remhof's work is an important contribution to Nietzsche studies. It is the first work that focuses exclusively on Nietzsche's understanding of material objects . . . Remhof has done an admirable job of laying out the scholarly terrain and offering a unique contribution that those working on Nietzsche should take seriously . . . He has shown that constructivism is a superior alternative to both the commonsense realist and unificationist readings." – Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Many have long thought that there was something ‘constructivist’ about Nietzsche’s metaphysics, but Remhof shows precisely in what way this is so. The book is a vital contribution to Nietzsche studies, and, I suspect, essentially right." – R. Kevin Hill, Portland State University, USA
