Reviews for Nietzsche, Psychology, and First Philosophy
"Pippin presents a much-needed new approach and appreciation of Nietzsche.... [He] adroitly starts fresh with Nietzsche, considering his work holistically and in the context of both early psychology and 19th-century French morality. In his novel reading, Pippin exposes, the folly of underappreciating Nietzsche's irony and self-criticism." (Choice)"
