| With his well-known idiosyncrasies and aphoristic style, Friedrich Nietzsche is always bracing and provocative, and temptingly easy to dip into. Michael Tanner''s introduction to the philosopher''s life and work examines the numerous ambiguities inherent in his writings and explodes many of the misconceptions that have grown in the hundred years since Nietzsche wrote "do not, above all, confound me with what I am not!" |

Times Literary Supplement
The past Masters series, to which this volume is one of the latest and slimmest additions, describes itself as 'concise, lucid, and authoritative'. Michael Tanner's introduction to Nietzsche is all these, and stylish, ironic, and irreverent to boot. His succinct and vigorously argued thesis is that, despite the flagrant contradictions and paradoxes inherent in Nietzsche's thought and character, he has a coherent, if flawed project." - Nicholas Martin 04/19/1996
