The greatest book ever written? Emphatically, yes.
>>25172940I like literally everything else Nietzsche wrote better than this. I don't get why everyone glazes it constantly.
>>25172940The gay science was better
It's too grandiose for a writer who was at the end merely that: a writer, among others. And Nietzsche is one of the better writers of all time, even then, this work collapses under its own weight. It pains me to bring this retarded assessment to the table but this literally reads like fanfiction
>>25172940Thus SPAKE Zarathustra, you mean?And hmmm I disagree that would be the CPR.
>>25172952If you haven't read it in german you haven't actually read it

>>25172959Critique of Pure Reason has none of the poetry or meaning that Thus Spoke Zarathustra has
>>25172975No, but the cognitive process of it all is quite sublime for me. Whether I agree or not, whether his writing can come across quite clunky in places or not.

I've read beyond good and evil twice and twilight of the idols twice. I still have to read everything else

>>25175201It's full of many excellent quotes>But it is the same with man as with the tree. The more he seeks to rise into the height and light, the more vigorously do his roots struggle earthward, downward, into the dark, the deep - into evil.>I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses>One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing starBasically every section has a beautiful quote. Furthermore, it teaches you to affirm life.
>>25172940Yes, it's the best. If you don't speak German, just get a German text and read it aloud along with the English. It's fairly easy to understand. He uses a lot of puns, even (especially) when he's saying something serious.“Es ist wahr: wir lieben das Leben, nicht, weil wir an’s Leben, sondern weil wir an’s Lieben gewöhnt sind.”
>>25173014Oh please, Kant is full of the same shallow reason-obsessed bullshit of the medievals and the platonists. Read Jung to get a serious description of the mind.
