Rating:  - Nietzsche makes it fun
The five stars are really more for Nietzsche than this particular pastiche. I've had this book since my thirties and have underlined it a lot. Whatever conclusions others draw from his work, to me it's always been mainly delightful. He's definitely the wild guy, as much poet as anything else. Like at least one other reviewer I've been frustrated now and then that the anthology doesn't give me more of some of Nietzsche's works. If I were delving into Nietzsche now I'd probably buy a handful of ... Read More
Rating:  - good deal,
A great collection for the price, but, Hollingdale's translations are much preferable in regard to capturing Nietzche's style and subtlety in English. Much of Zarathustra is awkwardly though adequately translated--unique word choices, to the say the least. Compare with Hollingdale's. Overall: Something I would pick up to have with me at all times and travel, but not the greatest substitute for obtaining better editions for study. Main feature: It's portable!
Rating: - Portable and easy to read Nietzsche

They make a lot more sense when you cut out all the melodrama and histrionics. It's less harsh than the other books and I actually agreed with a lot of his ideas. I found it to be more interesting than the few other books i've read by Nietzsche due to it being a more eclectic mix of Neitsche's works and easier to understand.

Rating: - A Correction of False Vulgarization of Neitzsche
A recent interesing discussion encouraged this reviewer to comment on this book edited by the late Walter Kaufmann. This anthology undermines the false popularlization of Nietzsche, and serious readers get a better understanding of Nietzsche than is provided by critis many of whom have probably not read Nietzsche. One should avoid "slick manuals and canned opinions edited at the editor's table. Read Nietzsche for yourself.
To say Nietzsche was unconventional is an obvious understatement. ... Read More
Rating: - An excellent selection from an excellent phisopher
Nietzsche is without a doubt the most important philosopher of modern times - the voice of the spirit of modern humanity, demanding freedom through self-power and courage in the face of the absurdity of the universe. Opposing humanitarianism (Man-for-Mankind) Nietzsche presents a vision of Man-for-Himself, a philosophical viewpoint that can be incorporated seamlessly into libertarian class war practice - as Georges Sorel, the French syndicalist, did.
