In this long awaited volume, David B. Allison argues for a generous approach to Nietzsche`s writings and provides comprehensive analyses of Nietzsche`s The Birth of Tragedy, The Gay Science, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and On the Genealogy of Morals. Unique among other books on Nietzsche, Allison`s text includes individual chapters devoted to Nietzsche`s principal works. Historically oriented and continentally informed, Allison`s readings draw on French and German thinkers such as Heidegger, Bataille, Derrida, Birault, and Deleuze, while explicitly resisting the use of jargon that frequently characterizes those approaches. Reading the New Nietzsche is an outstanding resource for those reading Nietzsche for the first time as well as for those who wish to know him better. Contents Preface, Introduction, 1.
