About this book

Moral certainty becomes a problem to examine in Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche's short, numbered reflections on ethics and prejudice. The Dawn of Day considers the motives behind conduct, the authority of inherited values, and the influence of religious belief. John McFarland Kennedy's translation includes an introduction that places the work within Nietzsche's developing philosophy and discusses the difficulties of carrying his wordplay into English.

The entries move between psychological observation, cultural criticism, and assessments of particular writers and thinkers. In the middle excerpt, German culture, the audience for art, Corneille's drama, and the Christian ideals represented by Pascal and Fénelon become occasions for argument.

About the author

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche - BDeBooks
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher whose critiques of religion and morality, and his ideas of the will to power and eternal recurrence, left a deep mark on twentieth-century thought. His late works, written in isolation, grew increasingly urgent before mental collapse ended his career.
