This starts off with some almost funny (something even vaguely resembling humor is not something you expect to see in a Nietzsche book) observations from Nietzsche and goes from there into his critiques of Socrates. He later goes into critiques and observations about other philosophers, as well as critiquing Germans and Germany. This book has plenty of what I normally like and dislike about Nietzsche. Dislike, sometimes reading his work is about as exciting as watching paint dry and he comes off...more

Morality is immoral from the beginning...
Also a load of reviews on other philosophers.

Sheer ignorance is speaking here: I tend to hate what I can't understand. Nietzsche is certainly a complicated author (I think he was more than a philosopher). It was very hard for me to follow his thoughts. Genius, to me, is the ability to explain the most complicated matters in the easiest of ways. Nietzsche goes the other way around.

Aside from being deeply misogynistic, he is really brilliant. For some reason, I structured reading this in the middle of Pullman's trilogy, and now I can't stop making inter-textual connections. I'm strongly tempted to write a paper about Nietzschean influences and digressions in Pullman's work.

This was actually a reread, but still well worth it. TotI is a great introduction to N's late work; full of the blinding genius, epic style, and mad venom. A secondary text through and through though.
