title: The Soul of Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil
author:  Maudemarie Clark 
description: "This long-awaited book will be essential reading for Nietzsche scholars. It is of particular interest as the first philosophically substantial challenge to the reading of Nietzsche as a philosophical naturalist, a reading that now dominates Anglophone Nietzsche studies and is increasingly influential internationally." <br />Brian Leiter, University of Chicago<br /><br />"This is a groundbreaking work that promises to revolutionize the field of Nietzsche studies by getting scholars to focus on Nietzsche's account of the normative domain and to consider how that account sits with his naturalism." <br />Ken Gemes, Birkbeck, University of London, and the New College of the Humanities<br /><br />"Clark and Dudrick give us a Nietzsche who is a philosopher through and through: engaged with science, worried as much by the a priori as by reductive empiricism, and whose version of the human self challenges the best contemporary accounts." <br />Barbara Herman, University of California, Los Angeles<br /><br />"This book should be included in any serious Nietzsche scholar's library and would be an effective secondary reading source for a class focusing on his work ... Recommended." <br />R. E. Kraft, Choice<br /><br />"Anyone engaged in Nietzsche studies at any level should surely read [this book] carefully and seriously. It is a significant addition to the current state of the field and perhaps the single strongest response to the naturalist reading of Nietzsche available today." <br />Michael Rogers, Theologische Literatureitung<br /><br />"... rich and densely argued ... if you see Nietzsche as an advocate of naturalism and empiricism and wish to maintain a picture of Nietzsche's thought, at least in Beyond Good and Evil, as a coherent whole, then this is as sophisticated and rigorous a work as one will find." <br />Robert Guay, Foucault Studies
