'Understanding Nietzsche's philosophy of conflict lies at the heart of any attempt at making sense of his overall philosophical project. Pearson's study is admirably rich in content and yet, due to its clear structure, transparent and accessible. It illuminates the background of Nietzsche's thinking in a manner that is always interesting and never tedious, and provides a wealth of new insights.' Beatrix Himmelmann, The Arctic University of Norway
