Churchs interpretation is full of interesting observations, unexpected connections, and nuanced reflections. His erudition and familiarity with Nietzsches corpus clarify conceptual distinctions and illuminate textual obscurities. Yet the outstanding virtue of Churchs work lies in the probing questions it raises about human nature and the search for meaning ... Such questions take us to the heart of Nietzsches thought, and Church is to be commended for writing such a stimulating and provocative book.--Paul T. Wilford, Boston College "The Review of Politics" Review Quote This is an excellent guide to Nietzsches underappreciated Unfashionable Observations, bringing out the unifying ethical and cultural themes that run through the work and setting them in the larger context of philosophical reflection on ethics and culture in the nineteenth century. The clarity of Churchs writing will make this an especially useful volume for students new to Nietzsches thought.
