Description

The essays contained in this volume treat of various subjects. With the exception of perhaps one we must consider all these papers as fragments. Written during the early Seventies, and intended mostly as prefaces, they are extremely interesting, since traces of Nietzsche's later tenets—like Slave and Master morality, the Superman—can be found everywhere. But they are also very valuable on account of the young philosopher's daring and able handling of difficult and abstruse subjects. "Truth and Falsity," and "The Greek Woman" are probably the two essays which will prove most attractive to the average reader.

Author

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) is the philosopher who made readers uncomfortable on purpose. He wrote of the will to power, eternal recurrence, and the need to become who you are — not as slogans, but as experiments in living. Thus Spoke Zarathustra turns prophecy into literature; his aphorisms flash and refuse to settle.
