The Nietzsche Dictionary

Douglas Burnham is a subtle and incisive reader of Nietzsche and this dictionary will prove to be of tremendous help to students seeking a guide to the main ideas and concepts of this highly original and independent-minded philosopher. It is an excellent guide and I highly recommend it. * Keith Ansell-Pearson, Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick, UK * This work is a most helpful guide to Nietzsche's philosophical language, by an author who has an in-depth acquaintance with the texts and a comprehensive understanding of Nietzsche's ideas. Readers will find the philosophical glosses and extensive cross-references especially illuminating. * Graham Parkes, Professor and Head, Department of Philosophy, University College Cork, Ireland * This most recent volume in the commendable `Bloomsbury Philosophy Dictionaries' series is a very helpful resource ... With an impressively comprehensive and thorough grasp of Nietzsche's texts, Burnham provides clear, jargon-free, and aptly cross-referenced dictionary entries of lengths varying from single paragraphs to over six pages ... The plethora of citations to the original texts in which defined terms and concepts are located will prove valuable both to novice and advanced readers, whether casually or rigorously engaged with Nietzsche's thought. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through researchers/faculty; general readers. -- R. A. Sica Jr., Colorado State University * CHOICE *
