Nietzsche

I know some if not many of you here at WATMM are into F. Nietzsche. I can choose from the following books:

Über Wahrheit und Lüge im außermoralischen Sinn / On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense

Menschliches, Allzumenschliches I / Human, All-Too-Human I

Menschliches, Allzumenschliches II / Human, All-Too-Human II

Morgenröte / The Dawn

Die fröhliche Wissenschaft / The Gay Science

Götzen-Dämmerung / The Twilight of the Idols

where the fuck should i start???

your bedroom or a libary

The gay science.

The Twilight of the Idols was written at a later point in his life.....I enjoy this material more than his earlier works

I recall enjoying The Gay Science, and don't remember whether or not I read the others you mentioned. I have a huge book of several of his major works, and sometimes I just read it without taking into account which book I'm reading. I just really like the way the man wrote. His later stuff gets quite interesting. He just goes off on huge manic rants about everything... I really want to read some Neitzsche now, hope I can find that book!

hmm, i would actually say thus spoke zarathustra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thus_Spoke_Zarathustra). basically just a nicely written book.

this or Human, All Too Human

I had a massive nietzsche period of my life where i read all his published books (not ones written after his death for some reason, as they were changed from the original manuscripts and its quite sad to see someone tamper with his work)

my favourite was the birth of tragedy where he tries to find the diffrence between the pleasure of tragic art and diffrence in suffering in life and art. as well as a paper his wrote after falling out with richard wagner called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nietzsche_contra_Wagner and he really tears him apart

also i'd eurge you to listen to FN's piano works which are beautiful!

also worth reading is Ecce Homo which is his attempt as a autobiography and really criticizes himself and his earlier work

and with thurs spake zarathrustra, if your gonna buy it check to see what edition it is, there was an english version which was done in the 1900's which is a hard read and there is a 60's version which is in modern day english which is a bit easier to read

The Genealogy of Morality is pretty representative, and short.

always loved his logic

lol

lol what?

I thought it was a joke, since Nietzsche basically does not reason.

Nietzsche - "dese manz hatin"
