This was my first ever philosophy book, and I know people are shaking their fists at me and screaming "but you won't understand if you don't read *insert any and all the philosophers who inspired Nietzche*". Well jokes on you because I did understand it, it really does not take a genius to figure out what Neitzche is trying to allude to - that there is no universal morality. In saying that, I do not wish to "recap" what Nietzche wrote as I fear the brutality of diehard Nietzche fans, regardless I will say that it is an important book for western philosophy, and I enjoyed it as much as a person can enjoy a philosophical piece of literature.

I’m like really stupid so I did not understand this book in the slightest except sadly the misogynistic parts. 😔

Nietzsche is a hard read, I'll be honest. I know that a lot of the time his writing is meant to be sarcastic, but I just can't pick up when he's sarcastically commenting on a common perception or when he's saying something I genuinely disagree with.
I can't bash him for being a philosopher I disagree with, he's a great philosopher and this book is a fantastic read to understand his "system" of "morality".
He writes in a blunt manner where he really does not care about the reader's opinion, which he references several times. He writes in short and easy to digest sections, but due to the heavy topics and the dense nature of his writing, it can take quite a while to get through.

din nou, probabil nu i-as fi acordat nici jumatate din atentia pe care i-o acord acum lui nietzsche daca nu erau interpretarile lui deleuze si bataille. mi-a placut si trebuia citita
cel mai mare minus ramane oricum misoginismul, in unele parti nu a fost asa rau sau am incercat sa le iau altfel dar doamne cred ca e o cu totul alta experienta sa citesti nietszche fiind barbat… nu vreau sa sune rautacios si sunt constienta ca e un produs al timpului in care traia si ca era mult mai progresist pe alte planuri, de asta am scazut doar o steluta (si ma simt putin prost cand il judec pentru asta avand in vedere cat de reusita e cartea din alte perspective, si cat de revolutionara a fost la vremea respectiva)
