Review
It is the peculiar (and maybe cruel) fate of Friedrich Nietzsche to have, a hundred years post facto, an audience that is wide yet uncomprehending. David Allison's achievement in this lucid, graceful work is to restore both the difficulty and the warmth of Nietzsche's message: focusing on four key works, he extends the range of Nietzsche interpretation precisely by virtue of sanity, balance and, above all, humaneness. A new Nietzsche? More like the one who was there all along, waiting for the right reader.--Mark Kingwell, University of Toronto
Had Nietzsche been aware that so many competing schools of interpretation would claim him for their own, he would doubtless have been flattered, after the almost complete neglect his writings had during his own lifetime. David Allison's book is the only one, however, he would have endorsed, as having gotten his philosophy down exactly as he would have wished, but hardly dared expect. The book is a masterpiece of exposition and analysis, presenting the work and the life through a brilliant reading of four of Nietzsche's great books. Nietzsche's enthusiasts can clear their shelves of the bickering secondary literature. This is the book to keep.--Arthur C. Danto, art critic; Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Columbia University
David Allison, as much as anyone else, has helped to make the 'new Nietzsche' speak English; now he offers provocative and scintillating readings of four of the most significant and challenging texts of a thinker who is always renewing himself. Allison's mastery of the classical and humanistic background of Nietzsche's writing is impressive; his careful *and* daring interpretations respond imaginatively to the philosopher's invitation that reading be an adventure--like a dance and a song in the mountains. Amazingly, this is a book that will delight and instruct both the beginner and the scholar.--Gary Shapiro, Tucker-Boatwright Professor in the Humanities-Philosophy, University of Richmond
