As a philosophical work, it is not the traditional essay. It is full of symbolism, so subsequent readings are beneficial, though the first time is special. Nietzsche does not want to persuade anyone into any system of belief. This work is an action, something to be witnessed. He wants his work of art to dance. (less)
