only read parts for class, need to come back but section 279 will stick forever.

"Star friendship. - We were friends and have become estranged. But this was right, and we do not want to conceal and obscure it from ourselves as if we had reason to feel ashamed. We are two ships each of which has its goal and course; our paths may cross and we may celebrate a feast together, as we did - and then the good ships rested so quietly in one harbor and one sunshine that it may have looked as if they had reached their goal and as if they had one goal. But then the almighty force of our tasks drove us apart again into different seas and sunny zones, and perhaps we shall never see each other again; perhaps we shall meet again but fail to recognize each other: our exposure to different seas and suns has changed us. That we have to become estranged is the law above us; by the same token we should also become more venerable for each other - and the memory of our former friendship more sacred. There is probably a tremendous by invisible stellar orbit in which our very different ways and goals may be included as small parts of this path; let us rise up to this thought. But our life is too short and our power of vision too small for us to be more than friends in the sense of this sublime possibility. - Let us then believe in our star friendship even if we should be compelled to be earth enemies."

UGH, NIETZSCHE. I LOVE YOU AS MUCH AS I HATE YOU

[Meredith · Rating 5 out of 5]

Five hundred pages of Nietzsche was too high of a dosage for me and would be for most people.

[Ryan Garrett · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s hard to give a star rating to this book. I’ve decided on four because the construction, selections, and introductions along with the explanatory notes are all well done. It’s an incredibly helpful volume. However, I also have to weigh the immense amount of Nietzsche’s words. He’s all at once a whirlwind of style, a force of rambling thought, a dark cloud of pessimism/optimism, positivism/complete nihilism, and at times, a complete mess of incoherence and confusion. He’s interesting to read for sure; but he’s not always as great as some say. I find myself in opposition to much of his conclusions and dislike the impact he has had on far too many - but I respect his honesty and his willingness to take his thoughts “all the way down” unlike so many of his peers and fellow atheists today. So, there is brilliance in Nietzsche, but there is also darkness and some (yes I’ll say it, as he would want me to be honest) over-hype about his insights.

Nietzsche's writing induces a dreamy fugue state, laden with natural imagery, pregnant metaphors, interspersed with direct pronouncements, illuminating, clarifying our most basic and innermost emotions, passions, and drives. He provides wide ranging critiques of the modern psyche and its core structures - religion, morality, social conventions - much of which he sees as limiting, weakening, and blinding the masses. In its place, he thrusts us into a world where the individual - in isolation - is the center of the universe - unrestrained, liberated, elevated into a creator of his own values, shaper of reality.

Read for HUMS 4000 at Carleton University. Read Human, All Too Human (Sections 1, 4, and 5), The Gay Science (sections 1, 3, 4, and 5), The Genealogy of Morals (Essay 1), and On the Utility and Liability of History for Life.

[Amelia Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

I will have to update my review when I get through all the sections, but I read a few of them for school. I realize I love how much I hate Nietzsche, and I’m going to just leave it at that.

[Colin Howard · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a really solid way to get to know this wild philosopher. Large chunks of all of his books are included and introductions to each section of writing guide the reader through the reading and alert them of it's cultural and historical context as well. Very interesting philosopher who was tragically misinterpreted to justify horrendous acts of violence. If you want to know Nietzsche and only want to read 550 pages rather than all of his catalog, this is a great choice.

Great reference book.

I love Freddy, even though he is rather effusive. It's interesting to see his thoughts develop over the course of his life in this collection.
