My beef with the anthology, however, is that it gives short shrift to his earlier work, which is worth reading. Thus Spake Zarathustra and the works that followed it tend to get the most attention. I think the trio of works (Human, All Too Human; Daybreak; The Gay Science) that immediately preceded Zarathustra are fascinating and well worth the time and effort.
Not sure why, but the full title of The Gay Science keeps dropping out of my post.
Indeed. Thus Spake Zarathustra was a good read, and Human, All Too Human is one of my favorite Nietzschean works. Haven't gotten around to Beyond Good and Evil though; is it good?
