We would especially like to thank Cecilia Cancellaro for encouraging us to take on this project and for her support throughout. We want to thank Jennifer Turvey for seeing the book through in its final stages and our agent Melanie Jackson for her continuing advice. We would also like to thank our various editors and publishers who have allowed us to pillage our previous and present writings on Nietzsche, in particular, Richard Schacht and Terry Moore at Cambridge University Press (Richard Schacht, ed., Nietzsche’s Postmoralism, New York: Cambridge University Press, 1999), Richard Schacht again, Nietzsche, Genealogy, Morality: Essays on Nietzsche’s On the Genealogy of Morals (Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1994), Bernd Magnus and Cambridge University Press again (The Cambridge Companion to Nietzsche, ed. Bernd Magnus and Kathleen Higgins), and Tom Rollins at The Teaching Company (The Will to Power: The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, 24 video/audio lectures, 1999). We would like to thank Random House and Viking for their kind permission to quote from Walter Kaufmann’s translations of Nietzsche’s central texts.
