Pocos textos como el de esta tercera Intempestiva podrían iluminar mejor las raíces de la tarea que Nietzsche escogió como propia en fecha ya muy temprana. «¿Qué se le exige a un filósofo, en primera y última instancia? Superar en sí mismo su propio tiempo y volverse intempestivo. ¿Con qué ha de sostener su más dura batalla? Con aquello por lo cual, justamente, es hijo de su tiempo.»
«Schopenhauer como educador» es, en efecto, un poderoso...

Description
German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche was one the most controversial figures of the 19th century. His evocative writings on religion, morality, culture, philosophy, and science were often polemic attacks against the established views of his time. First published in 1886, "Beyond Good and Evil" is a work that draws upon and expands the ideas that Nietzsche first addressed in his previous work, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." Nietzsche contrasts the concepts...

Um dos trabalhos filosóficos mais lidos e influentes de todos os tempos, "Assim falou Zaratustra" talvez deva sua extraordinária fortuna ao seu caráter híbrido: filosofia, religião e literatura nele se juntam de maneira complexa e atraente.
O livro narra as andanças e ensinamentos de um filósofo, que se auto-nomeou Zaratustra após a fundação do Zoroastrismo na antiga Pérsia. Para explorar muitas das ideias de Nietzsche, o livro usa uma...

"While life needs the services of history, it must just as clearly be comprehended that an excess measure of history will do harm to the living," declares Friedrich Nietzsche in this cautionary polemic. The iconoclastic philosopher warns us about the dangers of an uncritical devotion to the study of the past, which leads to destructive and limiting
results - particularly in cases where long-ago events are exploited for nationalistic purposes.

Extrait : "La volonté du vrai — qui nous égarera encore dans bien des aventures — cette fameuse véracité, dont tous les philosophes jusqu'à présent on parlé avec vénération : que de questions cette volonté du vrai n'a-t-elle pas déjà soulevé pour nous? Quelles singulières questions, dangereuses, et problématiques? C'est déjà une longue histoire, — et cependant il semble qu'elle ne vienne que de commencer?"

Description
Nietzsche criticizes German culture of the day as unsophisticated, decadent and nihilistic, and shoots some disapproving arrows at key French, British, and Italian cultural figures who represent similar tendencies. In contrast to all these alleged representatives of cultural "decadence", Nietzsche applauds Caesar, Napoleon, Goethe, Thucydides and the Sophists as healthier and stronger types. The book states the transvaluation of all values as Nietzsche's...

Die drei Hauptwerke Friedrich Nietzsches als EBook!
Friedrich Nietzsche, der sehr religiös erzogen wurde, stellt Moral per se in seinem Werk "Jenseits von Gut und Böse" als Fehler, bzw. Übel in der Menschheitsgeschichte dar und erläutert, dass vor der Erfindung und der Verbreitung von Moral unter den Menschen, diese Handlungen nur nach deren Nutzen bewertet haben – nicht, ob sie böse oder gut sind.
Nietzsche tritt dafür ein, sich auf die Vorstellungen...

First published in 1882 and revised in 1887, "The Gay Science (The Joyful Wisdom)" was written at the peak of Nietzsche's intellectual abilities. It includes a large number of poems and an appendix of songs, all written with the intent of encouraging freedom of the mind. While he praises the benefits of science, intellectual discipline, and skepticism, the influence of the Provençal tradition from which he drew is also an enthusiastic affirmation...

What I am now going to relate is the history of the next two centuries. I shall describe what will happen, what must necessarily happen: the triumph of Nihilism. This history can be written already; for necessity itself is at work in bringing it about. This future is already proclaimed by a hundred different omens; as a destiny it announces its advent everywhere, for this music of to-morrow all ears are already pricked. The whole of our culture in...

First released in 1901, about one year after Nietzsche's death, "The Will to Power" is a collection of Nietzsche's unedited and unpublished writings. Though the title and all of the ideas are of the radical philosopher's own invention, the order and selection of Nietzsche's notebooks are due to the organization of his sister. As a result of his poor health, Nietzsche used his remaining energy to write a different work, leaving "The Will to Power"...

The reader from whom I expect something must possess three qualities: he must be calm and must read without haste; he must not be ever interposing his own personality and his own special "culture"; and he must not expect as the ultimate results of his study of these pages that he will be presented with a set of new formula. I do not propose to furnish formula or new plans of study for Gymnasia or other schools; and I am much more inclined to admire...

The subject of education was one to which Nietzsche, especially during his residence in Basel, paid considerable attention, and his insight into it was very much deeper than that of, say, Herbert Spencer or even Johann Friedrich Herbart, the latter of whom has in late years exercised considerable influence in scholastic circles. Nietzsche clearly saw that the "philologists" (using the word chiefly in reference to the teachers of the classics in German...

The book is a critique of Richard Wagner and the announcement of Nietzsche's rupture with the German artist, who had involved himself too much, in Nietzsche's eyes, in the nationalist movement. His music is no longer represented as a possible "philosophical affect," and Wagner is ironically compared to Georges Bizet. However, Nietzsche presents Wagner as only a particular symptom of a broader "disease" that is affecting Europe: that is, nihilism....

Description
Nietzsche found in classical Athenian tragedy an art form that transcended the pessimism and nihilism of a fundamentally meaningless world. The Greek spectators, by looking into the abyss of human suffering and affirming it, passionately and joyously affirmed the meaning of their own existence. They knew themselves to be infinitely more than petty individuals, finding self-affirmation not in another life, not in a world to come, but in the terror...

The essays contained in this volume treat of various subjects. With the exception of perhaps one we must consider all these papers as fragments. Written during the early Seventies, and intended mostly as prefaces, they are extremely interesting, since traces of Nietzsche's later tenets-like Slave and Master morality, the Superman-can be found everywhere. But they are also very valuable on account of the young philosopher's daring and able handling...
