"Kathleen Higgins and Robert Solomon's comprehensive, lucid, and often humorous overview of Nietzsche's philosophy sings with the joy of his own work--a joy, the authors point out, that is often misunderstood or overlooked. Central to Nietzsche's thought is the call to celebrate life for its own sake. Yet, as Nietzsche himself realised, this often requires provocation. Through both the style and substance of his work, Nietzsche sought to ..."

"Excerpt from Illustrations of the Divine Government in Remarkable Providences To quote all the passages which teach and illustrate this deeply interesting and infinitely important doctrine, would be to transcribe a large part of the Bible. A few will suffice: Do not I fill heaven and earth? Saith the Lord. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. All things are naked and Opened unto the eyes of him with ..."
