Description During Books Daybreak: Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality

Daybreak marks the arrival of Nietzsche's 'mature' philosophy and is indispensable for an understanding of his critique of morality and 'revaluation of all values'. This volume presents the distinguished translation by R. J. Hollingdale, with a new introduction that argues for a dramatic change in Nietzsche's views from Human, All too Human to Daybreak, and shows how this change, in turn, presages the main themes of Nietzsche's later and better-known works such as On the Genealogy of Morality. The edition is completed by a chronology, notes and a guide to further reading.

This book is probably the one that I would recommend someone new to Nietzsche to start from. I think the translator (into Finnish) did a marvelous job. All in all, I really enjoyed this one, easier than most of Nietzsche's work, but contains a lot of gems. 5/5

"The general knowledge of mankind has been more effectively promoted by fear than by love; for fear tries to find out who the other is, what he knows, what he wants: it would be hazardous and detrimental to be deceived on this head. Love, on the other hand, has a secret craving to discover in the loved object as many beautiful qualities as possible, or to raise him as highly as possible: to be thus deceived would be delightful and propitious, wherefore love indulges in it."Nietzsche is such a

This is the dude who attacks every dude and, in the process, himself, of course. That's exactly why I love reading this dude. No dude is exempt from this dude's attack. Gotta love a dude with no exemptions.

The best translation of Nietzsche's early aphorist style.

not nietzsche's best

He subtitles this Prejudices on morality and the first two of the five 'books' are roughly 200 pinpricks at the psychologistic flaws of moral thinking. In the other books he covers other topics: Book three is devoted to nationalistic thinking, particularly the play between deceitful national stereotypes (especially those of the Greeks, whom Nietz feels everyone misunderstands and contradictorily distorts) and then a sudden turn into Nietz using this same analysis (with an implied degree of
