Description

Book Synopsis
Offers an analysis of the three works that make up the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's middle period: Human, All too Human; Daybreak; and, The Gay Science. This title argues that in their favorable attitude toward reason, science, and the Enlightenment, these works mark a sharp departure from Nietzsche's earlier, romantic writings.

Trade Review
"Post-structuralists have long mined the works of Nietzsche's middle period in their efforts to employ Nietzsche as an advocate of their deconstructionist enterprise. Paul Franco shows us in a wonderful fashion why their reading is mistaken and in doing so reveals a Nietzsche who is much more friendly to the Enlightenment and the humanist tradition than is generally imagined. It is the best book I know of on this period of Nietzsche's thought." (Michael Allen Gillespie, Duke University)"
