About this book
Nietzsche wrote this book as he pulled away from the romanticism of his youth and the sway of Wagner and Schopenhauer. Instead of flowing essays, he builds his case from hundreds of short aphorisms, turning a cool, skeptical eye on metaphysics, morality, religion, and art. He treats lofty ideals as products of ordinary human psychology, tracing our noblest values back to habit, fear, and self-interest. Dedicated to the memory of Voltaire, it announces the arrival of the free spirit who questions everything received on authority. The prose is sharp, restless, and often funny, and it laid the groundwork for the bolder works that followed.
