Nothing I've read about Nietzsche comes close to capturing the vibe.
He's not a philosopher with arguments you can summarize like say Hume.
It's very readable, there's no real excuse for not having read Thus Spoke Zarathustra
yes Thus Spoke Zarathustra is great. And no, I haven't read it
It's just some guy carrying a dead line dancer on his back, and then dumping him in a tree when he can't be bothered anymore
The fact that he's not methodical or very structured makes him easy to read, and impossible to grasp whether you actually got his point. It's fun philosophy
He writes very beautifully; I wish he did novels.
I've read and studied Nietzsche for over 20 years, first fell in love with Thus Spoke Zarathustra in my youth, I now tell people not to bother.
