'In place of a superficial acceptance or rejection, Patrick Hassan nuances in a fruitful and quite original way Nietzsche's critical engagement with the varieties and historical iterations of pessimism. A rare combination of historical erudition and analytic precision, this is an essential book on a core topic in Nietzsche studies.' Anthony Jensen, Providence College 'Nietzsche's critique of pessimism has often been framed as a response to Schopenhauer. Hassan usefully expounds the wider intellectual context and shows philosophical sensitivity in reconstructing the thought of the now-lesser-known figures that Nietzsche was in dialogue with, beyond just Schopenhauer.' Andrew Huddleston, University of Warwick
