Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits
by Friedrich Nietzsche, Friedrich Nietzsche, Marion Faber , Arthur C. Danto , Stephan Lehmann
by Friedrich Nietzsche, Friedrich Nietzsche, Marion Faber , Arthur C. Danto , Stephan Lehmann
Nietzsche's thought is one with which all others must engage and grapple. No matter the content of any particular ideology, Nietzsche is there to perform his famous "philosophizing with a hammer" and to offer the most concise and sharpest criticisms. No matter how often you find yourself agreeing or disagreeing with him, one must admit that his aphorisms are filled with insight and wisdom -- and cut to the bone every time.

It is so firmly lodged in the passions, in speech, in art, in religion, and generally in everything which endows life with value, that one cannot extricate it without doing irreparable harm to these beautiful things." |

It is the coldness of the judges, the painful preparations, the understanding that a man is here being used as a means to deter others. For guilt is not being punished, even if there were guilt; guilt lies in the educators, the parents, the environment, in us, not in the murderer -- I am talking about the motivating circumstances." |
