Tutt doesn’t achieve this by way of playing the safe middle ground – on the contrary, he first fully assumes the Nietzschean standpoint, recounting his own experience of its liberating aspect, and then gradually brings out the illusory character of this liberation. In the full sense of the term he knows what he is talking about: in his critique of Nietzsche, he settles the account with his own past illusions. Today, in our age of quick new Right or new Left dismissals, such a stance is needed more than ever.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSlavoj Žižek\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“…this book animates a new standard in reading Nietzsche.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDon Dombowsky, author of \u003ci\u003eNietzsche and Napoleon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Tutt\u003c\/b\u003e is a philosopher and educator based in Washington, DC.
