I was expecting so much more. Nietzche has been built up as a philosophical giant. Perhaps "Beyond Good and Evil" is simply a blemish amidst his "masterpieces".



Imagine sitting down and simply writing out every random thought that comes to mind. That is this book- congratulations- you are now a world-famous philosopher!



Nietzche is a misogynist- see his discourse on women. Nietzche is an elitist- see his discourse on the wonders of aristocracy and the needs for a caste system. Nietzche is a racist- see his discourse on the Germans amongst Europe. It isn't hard to see how Germany progressed to Hitler since Germans were consuming Nietzche as their first course.



He also used this book to self-aggrandize his paltry verses, or what some may call "poetry". Obviously, I was terribly unimpressed. I am wondering how this book has so many high ratings- are people actually reading this tiresome nonsense or is it just the cool eclectic Freshman Psyche Major thing to do? Nietzche is more hype than substance.
