The core argument of Nietzsche's Search for Philosophy-that we should not ignore the middle period-is impossible to disagree with. Ansell-Pearson's discussion of the works in question describe a thrilling series that readers will likely find themselves inclined to consult directly. * Rain Taxi * Keith Ansell-Pearson illuminates, with subtlety and care, neglected 'middle period' writings of Nietzsche, such as Dawn, showing how he reinvents philosophy as experiments in living and, above all, as fostering a new joy of the spirit. A fascinating and mature book from a sensitive thinker. -- Simon May, Visiting Professor of Philosophy, Kings College London, UK In this series of beautifully crafted, accessible and informative essays on Human, All Too Human, Dawn and The Gay Science, Ansell-Pearson rediscovers a philosophical persona not usually associated with the name of Nietzsche: Epicurean, pro-Enlightenment, anti-fanatical, dedicated to the passion for knowledge and to the cultivation of humanity by means of a calm and modest cultivation of the self. These essays make a compelling case for the richness and importance of the middle period works and call for a re-evaluation of what we take to be 'Nietzsche's philosophy. -- Paul Patton, Scientia Professor of Philosophy, The University of New South Wales, Australia
