Extract

Shaping the Future: Nietzsche's New Regime of the Soul and Its Ascetic Practices, Horst Hutter, Lanham MD: Lexington Books, 2006, pp. xvii, 222.

Everyone interested in Nietzsche should read this book. Long pondered and passionately argued, its devotion to Nietzsche and Nietzsche's texts results in a Nietzsche worthy of our closest attention yet ill-treated by standard academic approaches. Basic to Hutter's reading of Nietzsche is his recognition, against the grain today, that here is a philosopher, a human singularity, yes, a wise man, who commands our attention because he has achieved an understanding of the human past and present that enables him to take responsibility for the human future.
