Reviews for Interanimations: Receiving Modern German Philosophy
"Interanimations brings together thinkers from an impressive variety of traditions around Hegel and Nietzsche. The fascination of seeing one mind respond to people as diverse as McDowell, Strauss, and Zizek is what really makes this book stand out, and I know of no one today other than Pippin who could write it." (John McCumber, University of California, Los Angeles)
