Book Synopsis
Offers a rethinking of Friedrich Nietzsche's crucial notion of the agon. Analyzing an array of primary and secondary sources and synthesizing Nietzsche scholarship, the author shows how the agon, or contest, organized core areas of Nietzsche's philosophy, providing a fresh appreciation of the subtleties of his notorious views about power.

Trade Review
"Contesting Nietzsche is one of the finest pieces of Nietzsche scholarship to appear in many years. It both offers a comprehensive interpretation of the key texts in Nietzsche's oeuvre and contributes significant insights to some of the key topics in Nietzsche scholarship, including his naturalism, account of agency, approach to science, and possible contribution to thinking about democracy." (Alan D. Schrift, Grinnell College)"
