“The discussion is pitched in a key so much lower than Nietzsche’s own
writing, and is conducted in such obvious and pedestrian terms that
the many quotations blaze across the page with a heat that seems
almost to shrivel the unfortunate commentator. What Dr Figgis has done
here is to make the common mistake of confusing a diagnosis with an
ethics. The common mind seems unable to keep from confounding
Nietzsche’s analysis of what is with his ideal of what ought to
be. ... The book must be credited, however, with what is perhaps the
best short sketch of Nietzsche’s life to be found in English.”

“A book of real weight and of philosophic power.”

“The relation of Nietzsche to contemporary thought and particularly to
Christianity, as well as to the prevailing ideals in Germany, is well
brought out in Dr Figgis’ book.”

“His study of Nietzsche is able, fresh and sympathetic. Perhaps
because he is under Nietzsche’s charm, he does not quite come to grips
with his subject.” M. J.

“We can not praise too highly this exposition. It is unbiased, fair,
and square. No debatable characterization of the subject lacks chapter
and verse from Nietzsche’s writings.”

“The title gives a sufficient intimation of Dr Figgis’s purpose, but
one could wish that he had followed this purpose a little more
tenaciously. As a matter of fact, the best part of the book is the
exposition of Nietzsche’s philosophy before the author enters upon his
critical comparison.”

“It would be difficult for any Christian reviewer to excel Dr Figgis
in combining just criticism of an iconoclastic atheist with so
impartial an appreciation of his merits.”

“Dr Figgis’s books have an unusual circulation, which they deserve.
Christianity has few apologists of equal power, for he is not only
learned in divinity, he is also an historian and a philosopher who
keeps in touch with the spirit of his time. He knows the latest book
of Mr Bernard Shaw as well as of the Modernists. ... Nietzsche is much
more talked about than read, and Dr Figgis does well in adding to his
lectures typical specimens of his writings and the views of the best
critics on them.”

“The analysis Dr Figgis offers in these lectures is at once the most
painstaking and the most convincing we have seen.”

“Dr Figgis approaches his subject fairly and judiciously, though
hardly with the freedom from preoccupation which is essential to a
complete comprehension of Nietzsche. ... He devotes much space to the
progress of Nietzschian ideas in modern German.”
