I've previously expressed my admiration for Peter Osborne's How to Read Marx, and let me do so again with respect to this iteration of the rather awesome series. I haven't read more than [On the Genealogy of Morals], and I wanted to get a good intro to Nietzsche before going ahead and reading more of his texts. At the very least, this book will help you get an idea of how much any given person who starts talking about Nietzsche actually knows about him, or something like that; I've managed to identify a few rather shoddy references to the "Eternal Return" which, having read this book, were pure fluff. That's why you'd read a book like this, more than anything: to lay the groundwork for your own study of Nietzsche. I'll come back to this review if my own experience with his texts leads me to different conclusions than Ansell Pierson's, but I'll do so to debate with his expertly laid out introduction, not to talk shit about it. It's a good book, and its 120 pages (or so) are worth your time, as they explain how Nietzsche can be read from the present, often against past (mis)interpretations. Now (soon) I'm going to try and complete the planned trilogy of How to Read books I'd set for myself: Marx, Nietzsch, Freud. ( ) no reviews | add a review
