Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing. That was the most arrogant and mendacious minute of “world history,” but nevertheless, it was only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths, the star cooled and congealed, and the clever beasts had to die.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, short introduction to Nietzsche
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2013
Verified Purchase
The book is in itself a great treatise on the pursuit of truth and the importance of knowledge to life as human beings. But it is also a rare unfinished project by Nietzsche in which it is possible to find the seeds of his more widespread ideas as developed in latter books.

It is a short, uncomplicated, poetical exposition of very interesting philosophical ideas. It makes a good introduction to Nietzsche's thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars First 2 thirds is unbelievably intelligent

The final third of the book which examines the scientific subjective view and the artistic subjective view seems to go off course, but is still beautifully written and constructed.

Friedrich Nietzsche does deal with the duality in human kind by interesting comparisons using perceptions, language formation, and the extent of metaphors in daily life. A quick read for an open mind.

In this publication, there are numerous spelling errors, spacing errors, and formatting errors. It appears that the publisher did not once proofread the essay or apply any editorial evaluations towards the printed work. That being said, if you are willing to work through these errors, the essay can still be read and analyzed. Thumbs down to the publisher for your laziness.

5.0 out of 5 stars ... you need me to tell you that Nietzsche is brilliant? His expressive talent
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2015

Do you need me to tell you that Nietzsche is brilliant? His expressive talent, at least as translated here, is exciting and beautiful. Challenge your sense of reality, if you dare. I found this treatise to be a wonderful, accessible, and rewarding entry-point to a great philosopher's work.

This is an artful expression on the foundation-less exist and of society. It's implication and application may provide happiness yet it is true and everlasting.

A small continuous speech with difficult to translate concepts on lies about this existence in a materialistic approach. But all revolved over the same repertoire. Same concept in different colors over and over again is repeated. Have some coffee and Tylenol ready!

Error in very first paragraph so that half a line is blanked out. Irritating, and the website for the "publisher" doesn't exist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Short and simple introduction to Nietzsche's theory of the relativity of truth
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 14, 2014
Verified Purchase
This is a very short book and by no means the best written of his works, however it is very helpful as a background to his later thought because it is written in long-form argument rather than aphorisms.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 12, 2021

The work is not translated bad, in that it loses the meaning of the writings, more that it looks like it was typed into a word document and transferred directly onto the printing press, with no clarification on hyphens or any other Punctual changes.

Nietzsche at his best. An insight into the anthropomorphic basis of our approach to interpreting the world. Truth as illusion.
