The six selections contained in this volume aren't only critical elements of Nietzsche's oeuvre, they are must-reads for any student of philosophy. Those coming to Nietzsche for the first time will be pleased to find three of his best-known works--<I>The Birth of Tragedy</I>, <I>Beyond Good & Evil</I> & <I>On the Genealogy of Morals</I>--as well as a collection of 75 aphorisms drawn from his aphoristic work. In addition, there are two lesser known pieces in <I>The Case of Wagner</I> & <I>Ecce Homo</I>. Kaufmann's lucidly accurate translations have been the standard of scholarship since the 1950s. Anyone who has slogged their way through the swamps of German philosophical writing--in Kant, Hegel or Heidegger--will find Nietzsche a refreshing change. The selections are well chosen. A cover-to-cover read aptly depicts Nietzsche's philosophy. In this volume readers will find many of Nietzsche's polemical & frequently misunderstood ratiocinations on Christianity, Socrates, Germany & art. Here, too, are his seminal & unforgettable critiques of Western morality ("That lambs dislike great birds of prey does not seem strange: only it gives no ground for reproaching these birds of prey for bearing off little lambs"). For philosophical fireworks, he can hardly be matched. His brazen defiance of intellectualism's conventions still rings in contemporary thought because he practiced philosophy with a hammer.--Eric de Place (edited) 401839 1968 Basic Writings of Nietzsche total:362|5:175|4:127|3:47|2:11|1:2| 362 1548 701 29 412598 0679600000 9780679600008 27 4 4.28 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174518565m/412598.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/412598.Basic_Writings_of_Nietzsche 5 0 false Sat Oct 17 23:37:17 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 17 23:42:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 12319 0679783393 9780679783398 330 24 4.28 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166495615m/12319.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/12319.Basic_Writings_of_Nietzsche 5 0 false Thu Aug 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 12:33:56 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 12:38:22 -0700 2009 more...]]> 862426 0394604067 9780394604060 5 1 4.28 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178991987m/862426.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/862426.Basic_Writings_of_Nietzsche 5 0 false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 1973 Sat Aug 23 01:12:24 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 23 01:45:19 -0700 2008
