Opis

Often considered mere assemblages of aphorisms, the free spirit works - Human, All Too Human; Assorted Opinions and Maxims; The Wanderer and His Shadow; Daybreak; and The Gay Science - are here presented as a coherent narrative of Nietzsche's self-education. The book explores these works' role in Nietzsche's wider philosophy.

Recenzje

'… genuinely thought-provoking … will stimulate productive discussions about the meaning and significance of Nietzsche's middle works for many years to come.' Journal of Nietzsche Studies
