Brendon Kovacic’s Reviews > Thus Spoke Zarathustra > Status Update

This part of the book is mostly short 2-4 page philosophies, a lot of which reads like self-aggrandising bullshit. I find myself having to read over what i have just read as my eyes glaze over and the needlessly complicated drivel bounces off my brain. I did resonate with ‘Of The Tree on the Mountainside’ though. Extracurricular study of a re-read will be necessary.

The almost 40-page introduction, written by R.J. Hollingdale, managed to piss me off with what felt like insecure deflections of critique of Nietzsche’s philosophies, but it sort of pulled me back once Hollingdale began breaking down complex themes in the book to come in a digestible way I could refer back to. Like a WWE walkout song, the introduction managed to hype and prepare me for what I am about to read.
