About this audiobook
Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and author. Born into a line of Protestant churchman, Nietzsche studied Classical literature and language before becoming a professor at the University of Basel in Switzerland. He became a philosopher after reading Schopenhauer, who suggested that God does not exist, and that life is filled with pain and suffering. Nietzsche’s first work of prominence was The Birth of Tragedy in 1872, which contained new theories regarding the origins of classical Greek culture. From 1883 to 1885 Nietzsche composed his most famous work, Thus Spake Zarathustra, in which he famously proclaimed that “God is dead.” He went on to release several more notable works including Beyond Good and Evil and The Genealogy of Morals, both of which dealt with the origins of moral values. Nietzsche suffered a nervous breakdown in 1889 and passed away in 1900, but not before giving us his most famous quote, “From life's school of war: what does not kill me makes me stronger.”

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting opinions and essays, but I found it a bit too deep for myself.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5As a devout Christian,
I had very high expectations from this book.
I was surprised to learn that Nietzsche was not anti-semitic, that was something I learnt from this book.
He likes Buddhism better than Christianity. "Buddhism, I repeat is a hundred times colder, more truthful, more objective."
He goes on to attack the origin of Jewish concept of God, concept of sin, psychology of Christians, gospels.
He says,"Christian is the hatred of the intellect, of pride, of courage, of freedom and senses."
Indeed, I felt really funny reading this and I am in a better mood. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5An intense and damning work - one not to be caught reading in public where I live.
A fearsome, angry, snarl against Christianity, as it was at the time. Rails and rambles against the decadence and nihilism of Christianity, of weakness, of parasitism, of the promise of eternal life, the corruption of the Church and priesthood, and of the evils justified by religion. It is a means for which the weak can resent and dominate or refuse the strong, or the ways of the world, as he says.
As for Jesus? A misguided redeemer, who promised "The kingdom of god is within you", and perhaps the only true Christian.
This is not exactly a book one can read, and put aside, and say, "That was interesting. On to the next one." It stays with you - as madness or as a spark of genius.
As a side note, my copy was translated by H. L. Mencken, also famous for his acidic style and critique of American religion. A funny historical coincidence.
Recommended for Hyperboreans. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It is possible to see this as too aristocratic. After all, 'Or can any teach God knowledge? Seeing as he judges those which are high.' But for all that, here is hot fury and cold steel, and it cuts deep...And, of course, it would be easy to draw facile comparisons between him and the 'New Atheists'--Hitchens, Dawkins, Harris--and it's been done; but that's just comparing children with a grown-up. Each one of them is--Smart Like A Moron! Though I suppose they're sure clever, since stupid people say so. After all, it's not like the Pharisees and the dictionary freaks (of monkish habit) are going to find the answer. They're as lost as Hitler!And, if anyone's wondering, Was Nietzsche German? I doubt it. Indeed, it was his cross to be so surrounded by the plague of Victorian Germanic-Teutonic introverted losers which had so infected and deformed the Europe of his day. Far more real of an infection than whatever dream of "Eastern Jews" that the Nazis used to fret of...like wrestlers with the sensibilities of snobs: "Eastern Jews! (Uneducated)!" Yet those old German military-academic scientists were really 'life unworthy of life', as the Nazis used to say. God! useless weak people, always trying to bully everyone. Like one of those two-and-a-half pound dogs that always wants to fight...Although I like the ones that are too grand to fight even better. They go through life with their eyes safely shut, and they if they provoke you, they'll never admit it, because their eyes are too weak to see you or your concerns, their eyes are too weak to even see their feet, although at least they have their conceit, even if they are too fat to reach their feet. And too grand, of course, to even want to. But whatever fools say, there is never anything wrong with wanting to be a little noble, no matter how low-born you are. So let them say of thee, that he, 'adventured his life far'. Or else is she, 'wild for to hold, though I seem tame'. But what do they know of life, who live as the dead? So rest in your conceit, Christians, for your sin rests on you. For, after all, they have no sense of correctness, only of conceit, and the privilege of little lords who are too lazy to do any work: so what is more weak than that? And jealousy of anything capable of real kindness and generosity: did they think that this too would go unnoticed? But, come, let us not disturb the moral invalids--the ethically feeble, more vexed by slights to their cloistered names and parochial words, than to the sorrows of the people and catastrophes of the others--let them rest in their sins, for their sins rest in them. (9/10)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I found Friedrich Nietzsche when I was still in high school, and have been a huge fan ever since. Sadly, he is one of the most misunderstood and maligned thinkers, but stands as a huge influence on so much of modern thought. Nietzsche is not only a philosopher who is easy to read, but he is a joy to read. He is ecstatically involved in his thought and passes that ecstasy on the reader. I have always drawn strength from his work, and return to it often.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Tal van knappe inzichten die intussen gemeengoed zijn geworden. Toch blijft hij met zijn religiekritiek steken in secundaire kwesties.
