"This is a most welcome volume that brings to bear much needed critical attention on one of Nietzsche's most important texts from his fertile late period. To illuminate this most provocative of texts Daniel Conway has assembled some of the finest commentators and scholars currently writing on Nietzsche today. The result is an incredibly rich and highly instructive set of well-researched and lucidly written essays that will engage readers across the humanities, including in philosophy, the history of ideas, literary studies, and German studies." -- Keith Ansell-Pearson, Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick, UK "Daniel W. Conway has assembled a treasure trove of stunningly brilliant essays, penned by the very best Nietzsche scholars worldwide. Altogether, the contributors lend Nietzsche's The Antichrist the attention it is woefully due but has heretofore somehow missed. Philosophers, political theorists, religious scholars, scientists, ethicists-readers of many sorts!-will immensely appreciate their encounters with these captivating, readable, and wise essays." -- John Seery, George Irving Thompson Memorial Professor of Government and Professor of Politics, Pomona College, USA "Although Nietzsche's readers have given relatively little attention to The Antichrist , the publication of this collection demonstrates that the book Nietzsche described as his "revaluation of all values" more than merits philosophical scrutiny.

Through detailed reconstruction and analysis of Nietzsche's insights and arguments, these essays, each written by a prominent Nietzsche scholar, deepen our understanding of familiar themes including: Nietzsche's critique of Christianity; his psychological reconstruction of the "Redeemer type"; his conception of specifically "priestly philosophy"; and his "naturalization" of the human. Daniel Conway's collection is a valuable addition to the philosophical study of Nietzsche's critique of modernity." --Robert Gooding-Williams, Professor of Philosophy, Columbia University, USA.
