This is one of my very favorite books so this is going to be a very long review. I do, however, give some recommendations for supplementary reading for those who are struggling with this work at the end of my review so if you are looking for secondaries on Deleuze's reading of Nietzsche you can skip my lengthy review and go right to the end. There is not a lot of material on Deleuze's reading of Nietzsche in English but I have listed what I think are the best resources I have come across so far.Nietzsche and Philosophy is meant to be a systematic examination of the work of Friedrich Nietzsche but, as with nearly all of Deleuze's commentaries on other philosophers, it winds up being just as much about Deleuze's own ontology as it is about Nietzsche. In fact, this book is probably the best place to begin a study of Deleuze's often obscure ontology.The fact that this book is as much about Deleuze as it is about Nietzsche does not mean that it is without value considered purely as a commentary on Nietzsche. In fact, I think Deleuze gets a great deal of Nietzsche right in his interpretations. If one ignores some of Deleuze's more controversial interpretations, like his interpretation of the eternal return, this book is one of the best and most profound systematic reconstructions of Nietzsche's philosophy around. No one will be able to claim after reading this book that Nietzsche was not a serious philosopher. The old image of Nietzsche simply throwing out random aphorisms without any systematic intent will not survive even a cursory reading of this book.
