Nietzsche Decoded

All teachers, parents, and school administrators should read this book. If you think "democratic pedagogy" sounds dull, think again. The Process of Becoming is engaging and timely. People who prize democracy often express negative views of Nietzsche. But Leslie Sassone, a highly regarded professor at Northern Illinois University, shows a deeper understanding. She has used her thorough knowledge of Neitzsche and her personal life confrontations to create an informed, humane, powerful text that demonstrates the connection between group well being and personal truth. I have used the book to show doctoral aspirants that dissertatins can be literate and truthfull. I especially like the clean style, honest revelations, and multi-leveled texture of meaning. In the afterword, Sassone interviews herself--a postmodernist putting postmodernity in every day context. Very effective.
