Description
This is a classic account of Nietzsche's thought, first published in 1957. It traces the development of Nietzsche's thought through all its principal phases, and stresses its relevance to our times. Squarely based on original literary and biographical sources, it avoids technicalities and obscure comparison. It is intended for the general reader rather than the specialist - above all for the reader who desires, as Nietzsche did, to "clear his mind of cant".

Reviews
-
"This is one of the very few books on Nietzsche which, with its noble and passionate style, does justice to its subject. Lea traces Nietzsche's development with great clarity, often disagreeing with him, but always showing a deep understanding of and sympathy for his heroic attempts to diagnose our condition, and propose drastic remedies." -- Michael Tanner, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge
-
"His book is illuminating, and gives new interpretation of Nietzsche's thought and the problems which possessed him, some of which are still real." -- Edwin Muir, The Observer
-
"We must be grateful for this admirable exposition of the most challenging thinker of the modern world." -- G. Wilson Knight, the Yorkshire Post
