Lucas Murrey has produced a visionary adaptation of the Nietzschean Dionysiac to illuminate the dysfunctionality of twenty-first century capitalism. -- Richard Seaford, author of Money and the Early Greek Mind and Dionysus As a new contemporary interpreter of Nietzsche, Lucas Murrey offers a critical analysis of the catastrophes that this German philosopher prophesised. In particular, Murrey's historical placement of Nietzsche that, on the one hand, looks explicitly backward to the poetry of Friedrich Holderlin and, on the other hand, implicitly forward to the poetry of Stefan George, opens new doors of thought. -- Bernhard Boschenstein, author of Frucht des Gewitters. Zu Holderlins Dionysos als Gott der Revolution and Paul Celan: Der Meridian A congenial and rigorous new landmark study regarding Nietzsche's understanding of Dionysus in Greek tragedy during his Basel year. Well versed in classical scholarship and challenging in its original insights into ancient and modern visual culture. -- Anton Bierl, Greek Chair in Basel and author of Dionysos und die griechische Tragodie Once again, fascinating material. It is exciting to see the meaning of Orwell's unpublished preface 'The Freedom of the Press' enter into the orbit of German philosophy. -- Noam Chomsky, author of Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media and Gaza in Crisis: Reflections on Israel's War against the Palestinians
