Reviews

Froese's interpretations of Rousseau and Nietzsche provide depth and subtlety to their respective accounts of self-making. -- Mark E. Warren, Georgetown University Katrin Froese provides a genuinely instructive and imaginitive study of the rapport between Rousseau and Nietzsche. Students and scholars in political theory, the history of ideas, and philosophy will learn a great deal from this book, which is both lucidly written and deftly argued. -- Keith Ansell-Pearson, University of Warwick Froese has brought together the thinker that may be said to initiate modernity and the one that may be said to announce its end. Without covering over their differences, she shows how strikingly similar they are. In an age when the public realm is no longer or but slightly available, Nietzsche and Rousseau may very well be, as Froese shows, our best guides. -- Tracy B. Strong, University of California, San Diego ... [A] stimulating and valuable discussion. Canadian Journal of Political Science ... interesting and useful as an introduction to the two great thinkers-and an easy read at that. Political Studies Review Froese has written a lucid account of the projects of Rousseau and Nietzsche... Her book will help to clear up many confusions associated with these two names. -- Kathleen Higgins, University of Texas at Austin
