Reviews

[Philip Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good intro. Think I've got the gist.

[Rachel · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very interesting and illuminating short biography. The description of Nietzsche's health problems and the way they are linked with his thought lend a different perspective to his philosophy. There is also an interesting short chapter on the political use and misuse of his thought.

[Max Eness · Rating 3 out of 5]

not a terrible overview, but too short to really give a satisfying look at nietzche's ideas. A bit short on the textual analysis

Great look into Nietzsche, the man and his philosophy. I highly recommend it.
