Reading Nietzsche is simultaneously easy and difficult. Easy, because he's fun and witty, often insults people he doesn't like and doesn't give a shit about dissing other philosophers. He called this style "aphoristic." But reading him is also difficult, because he's basically refuting everything you've ever been taught about the world. Either way, Nietzsche is an incredible, worthwhile experience.

Mæli með að lesa bókina líka á ensku, sérstaklega þessa útgáfu. Þá áttar maður sig meira á henni í samhengi við aðra enska siðfræði, þótt að það sé auðvitað skemmtilegt að geta lesið á móðurmáli sínu.

Ótrúlegt rit og margt sem fær mann til að hugsa – og hvílíkur endir! Mig grunar að ég muni þurfa að það melta þetta lengi (eða með orðum Nietzche, *jórtra*). Mæli með fyrir hvern þann sem hefur áhuga á að kynna sér Nietzche, en þetta rit var sértaklega samið til að vera auðlesnara en fyrri verk hans (eiginlega í auglýsingaskyni fyrir fyrir verkin!).

"It is absolutely impossible to disguise what in point of fact is made clear by every complete will that has taken its direction from the ascetic ideal: this hate of the human, and even more of the animal, and more still of the material, this horror of the senses, of reason itself, this fear of happiness and beauty, this desire to get right away from all illusion, change, growth, death, wishing and even desiring—all this means—let us have the courage to grasp it—a will for Nothingness, a will opposed to life, a repudiation of the most fundamental conditions of life, but it is and remains a will!—and to say at the end that which I said at the beginning—man will wish Nothingness rather than not wish at all."" !!!!!

Hard to read trough all the anti-semitism, even though some of Nietsches thoughts about morality are really interesting.
