Stride Magazine in the U.K. has a year-end round-up of the “Best of 2003” including this:

“Get real ­ this was a time for reading Freud and Nietzsche. Professor Brian Leiter from the University of Texas at Austin delivers the must-read of 2003 with his Nietzsche on Morality, a close look at Zur Genealogie der Moral (1887). Not only does this book re-affirm Nietzsche’s devastating expose of the non-moral origins and function of ‘morality’, it also shows how Post-Modernists have misinterpreted Nietzsche ­ distorting his philosophy in the same way as they abuse science (as revealed by the Social Text scandal of 1996). Still, we all knew that ‘post-modern philosophy’ is just another trendy goulash didn’t we? Is this Deconstruction? ­ You bet your life it is!

I don’t know anything about Stride Magazine, apart from their impeccable judgment on matters of Nietzsche scholarship. But I shall have to become a regular reader now!

And if you still haven’t bought a copy, more reasons to do so are here.
