The two make for an excellent exposition of the mature Nietzsche. While Zarathustra is written as a novel and presents Nietzsche’s thinking in a more poetic light, Beyond Good and Evil is more systematic and less literary. Reading Nietzsche can be a laborious task, but is always a rewarding one.īeyond Good and Evilwas Nietzsche’s first book after Thus Spoke Zarathustra and contains a similar effort to spell out the author’s philosophy in its entirety. I enjoy reading Nietzsche for the same reason I enjoy running in the mornings– I know that the shakiness and the exhaustion of today will become the strength and stamina of tomorrow. Nietzsche always falls into the latter category. There are also books out there that you can spend nearly two weeks reading and feel as though you blazed through them.
There are books out there that you can read in an afternoon and feel as though you took your time.
