Is Neitzche Hard?
(April 22, 2014 at 5:55 pm)MindForgedManacle Wrote: Hm. I'm not going to say Nietzsche is easy because some parts do get a little deep (I'm thinking about his "Thus Spake Zarathustra" here), but I don't think all his works are hard at all times.

Thus Spake is overly poetical and intentionally obscure.

The rest of his work is conversational and accessible, in my opinion. He's not overly floral and dense like Kant, and he's not cement-dense material like Hegel.

Nietzsche is one of the few I still read for pleasure, and I remember it being easy to read the first time. Kant took me years to be able to pick up and read without rolling my eyes the entire time.
