Beyond Good and Evil Audiobook

" If only every philosopher were as wildly interesting as this one. "

" Lots of great ruminations here. He makes you shed your encoding and see things differently. A must for people who think they know everything. Look closer. "

" It was very well written and thought out with distinction. However I find the first part of most philosophy papers to be a little boring where the whole goal is to point out things that are wrong with other prominent philosophers ideas. The middle 3-4 chapters were really good with a lot of short but insightful paragraphs. However the end droned on with a lot of whining about modern Germany and civilization. So I'd like to just condense this book to the middle 3 or so chapters. "

" Quite entertaining, even when he's wrong. "

" Probably the coolest book on man in relation to morality and ethics that I have ever read. "

" My first Nietzsche. Shows the importance of art in expressing the soul. Provides a fascinating critique of Walker Percy's "Lost in the Cosmos" and Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" "

" It's hard to recommend Nietzsche...he's against democracy, the suffrage of women, mildly racist, etc...but through all the anachronism, he's a phenomenon. Arrogant in all the right ways and some of the wrong ones. "

" Admittedly *not* my good choice for summer reading. "

" A monumental book for me. Read this in college and discovered how philosophy relates to life. I know, a little late, but better late than never. "

" The consolidation of thoughts of Friedrich. It needs to be read only after earlier books, cause it's impossible to understand something or just pass first chapter without this action. "

" i like pretty much anything that questions the dichotomy of binary opposites (i.e. good vs. evil, etc.) good introduction to nietzche, as this book is one of the most approachable of his books. if you like camus and derrida, you will probably enjoy reading this. "

" one of my favorite philosophers "

" Friedrich guides us through an enticing philosophical journey where morals and virtues are gradually deconstructed and optimistically rehabilitated. Leaving the reader with a broader view of society and the space in which it inhabits. "

" Beyond insupportable and beneath contempt. "

" This book it's like philosophy sculpted on marble; its incredible. "

" The writing style was a little hard to follow and I got the impression I was missing things. It wasn't awful but I just don't think I was getting out of it what I was supposed to. "

" well worth my time. What was it about? I do not recall, he talks and he talks wonderfully about nothing in particular. Some good nuggets. "

" I need to reread this one... "

" I credit Nietzsche with helping me enjoy beer more. "

" One of the most insightful books ever written. "

" I would call it a pleasant read, but understanding the thinking is important. "

" the philosopher's task. a philosopher's prejudice. read, but must be read more deeply. "

" My first Nietzsche. Shows the importance of art in expressing the soul. Provides a fascinating critique of Walker Percy's "Lost in the Cosmos" and Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" "

" Long, unaccessible, very tasteless. But he speaks the unconvinent truth about human morality that makes the reader speechless. Throughout this book I either loved Nietzsche or hated him at any given moment. "

" An eyeopener for me at the time. "

" I read this at about 14 and it changed my life forever. I'm not sure you can really get what he's satin without having your life change fundamentally. Beautiful, brilliant, and enthralling. I love this piece. "

" I appreciate this great thinker, but he is just too depressing and without hope. "

" "Whatever is done out of love is beyond good and evil." "

" Absolutely outstanding read from the godfather of existentialism that provided me with a lot more answers than questions. "

" Whew! This was a tough one to slog through. There were many interesting ideas, but I can see why some really hate Nietzsche. At least now I can honestly say I've read something of his, just don't ask me to discuss it closely because I often had to read and re-read passeges. "

" It's been some time since I read this in undergrad, along with several of his other titles, but I do recall being challenged both spiritually and intellectually. I would recommend. "

" &quot;The falsehood of an opinion is no objection to it.&quot; Sorry, but it is.<br/><br/>Also, I'm alarmed at how few people on goodreads seem actually to understand Nietzsche. "
