If there is one word that describes Wolfenstein's book, it is ambitious. This work ranges across psychoanalysis, critical theory, political philosophy, and inevitably ethics.- Caroline Joan (Kay) Picart (Hypatia) Nietzsche's psyche, ever a fascinating subject for his readers—is the centerpiece of Wolfenstein's investigation.... Wolfenstein's analysis is a good read, and a worthy indulgence, for those of us who cannot resist peering into the chthonic depth of Nietzsche's psychobiography.- S.L.H. (Ethics) This is a great book. In relatively short space it manages to enact a dialogue among the proponents of Nietzsche and Foucault, psychoanalytic theory and practice, and Hegelian critical theory, in which all three of these vibrant voices take turns at center stage. Its remarkable breadth, moreover, is more than matched by its depth.- Isaac Balbus, University of Illinois at Chicago (Political Psychology)
