Recenzje

Elijah Millgram offers us a very challenging and powerful reading of Nietzsche. The book deserves to make a substantial impact, both within Nietzsche studies and more broadly in philosophy. Millgram's approach is highly unusual; he forces us to pay serious attention to the authorial voices, or personae, that Nietzsche adopted in his various works, and to ask after the point of those bravura performances. His large-scale argument-that they operated collectively as Nietzsche's creative way of coping with his own psychological disintegration-is sure to be controversial, but Millgram shows that there is considerable intrinsic philosophical insight to be gained from this way of thinking about Nietzsche.
