Not as highbrow as it looks.
It's not too hard and is actually quite relaxing and soothing for some reason.
My only experience with Nietsche is the Jesus Lizard live album where a heckler yells out "...is that, like, Nietsche?" and Yow replies "yeah, that's like Nietsche.... Nietsche mouth full of my cock".
Really though, this book was quite flowery and pie-in-the-sky. Unrealistic ivory towered types untethered to the needs of the common man, hemming and hawing about theoretical constructs that are never going to put food on the table ffs
Weirdly, I think I enjoyed the notes in the back more than the book itself.
Kind of unfortunate this idiotic posing style went out of fashion.
Wouldnt stand in the USA.
"GUN!"

Huh, we had kind of similar thought on Fred, it seems:
"It feels kind of strange to give a star rating to the collected works of Friedrich Nietzsche, but whatever. If these big shot philosophers tryna be dead in two-thousand nineteen, they just asking to get roasted by goodreads nation. Or repped hard. Real hard.
I found Fred's raving-crank writing style very entertaining. I'm not a philosophy student, so I didn't read this (this collection includes the complete texts of most of his major works and selections of several others) looking to dissect it or judge it against the other big-time thinkers. Anyway, I think most of dude's ideas have been absorbed into Western culture over the past 100-plus years; nothing here was new or shocking. Nietzsche strikes me as a contrarian more than anything else. He contradicts himself a lot. He spends a lot of time fearlessly shitting on the titans of 19th century thought, the Greeks, Christianity. Good stuff. He loved Dostoyevski, so that's points in my book. Anybody don't like Fydo can take a damn hike!
Entertaining stuff, overall. Zarathustra got kind of long-winded. The whole biblical/fable/epic poem kind of style got pretty old. I liked his critiques the best. Nietzsche was totally punk. Recommended."
