Alexander Nehamas argues at a level of sophistication and provides a density of content which are very rare in this field. -- Michael Tanner * Times Literary Supplement *\u003cbr\u003eThis new study is fascinating for its portrayal of Nietzsche’s thought as ‘literary’ in a twofold sense: first, Nehamas argues that Nietzsche viewed the world as if it were a literary text; second, he claims that Nietzsche’s goal as an author was to create a specific literary character… The case is argued forcefully (and even with a touch of drama)… The writing is rich and allusive in a manner that is unusual in contemporary works of philosophy. It is a valuable contribution to our understanding of Nietzsche, one that adds substance to the often facile citing of Nietzsche in contemporary literary studies. -- Stephen N. Dunning * Poetics Today *\u003cbr\u003eAnyone at all interested in Nietzsche will certainly want to read [this book]… Nehamas has applied his own theory of interpretation, and he has postulated an integrated, coherent ‘Nietzsche’ to whom no future reader of Nietzsche can remain indifferent. -- David Hoy * London Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eMarvelous… Nehamas has written perhaps the best book yet on Nietzsche’s philosophy. -- Robert C. Solomon * Philadelphia Inquirer *\u003cbr\u003eNehamas evolves a wonderfully subtle and ingenious interpretation… [He has] produced something weighty, complex, distinctive—in its way, a work of art. -- George Scialabba * Village Voice Literary Supplement *\u003cbr\u003ePhilosophers and anyone interested in philosophy ought…to welcome Alexander Nehamas’s elegant and challenging interpretation of this most ‘writerly of philosophers’ …This unusually engaging book demands our attention. -- Karsten Harries * New York Times Book Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction    Part I.
