Reviews

It is an intelligent, albeit idiosyncratic, extension of Nietzsche's analyses * A. D. Schrift, Grinnell College, Choice Connect * The Ascetic Ideal is a generous work of hospitable translation between different disciplinary languages, one that paradoxically marries skepticism with optimism. * Joel Mayward, The Journal of Religion * If one can... say that The Ascetic Ideal offers a vigorous defence of the priority of becoming over being with regard to the self..., the real work of the book is in showing the kind of self-critical work that this requires of us. In other words, this is not a conclusion or message that can be detached from the actual process of philosophizing, a point I take to be equally Hegelian, Heideggerian and Wittgensteinian. Reading The Ascetic Ideal is an education in just this kind of philosophy * George Pattison, Reviews in Religion and Theology *
