On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life (Hackett Classics)

An important consideration of the impact of Historicism. Nietzsche makes a clear case for the positive and negative aspects of the rise of historical consciousness and how men should behave in light of Post-Hegelian ideas.I cannot speak to the quality of the translation, but the prose is accessible and the small size of the book makes it easy to carry around.

Nietzsche's writing has a certain emotional quality that draws me in and makes me consider his viewpoint emotionally. He may be a little difficult to understand initially but trust me, he's worth spending your time on.

I bought this book for a class and it came in good condition! It's an interesting read although I'm not huge into philosophy.

I found it hard to concentrate on the ideas written in this book. There are many books that are written currently that are based on research that wasn't available to Nietzsche. I'll take the word of scholars who have studied these works that they are insightful and are an important component of our history. I'll spend my time trying to understand the world that I live in and come to some understanding of my existence.

He writes with personality and emotion. He's biting and can even be humorous in a certain light. There is room for criticism, but overall I love this text. It's a great criticism of the people around me (probably of me as well)

this book is very interesting for Philosophy class. This book is about how Friedrich Nietzsche discusses his approach to philosophy. Nietzsche seeks to discover about how he came about and where is God. Nietzsche calls himself a "substance."

Want a book to spend the rest of your life thinking about from time to time? This is a good one.

Bought as a gift for my college-age grandson. I've heard this guy Nietzsche is good, though he could have made his name easier to spell.

not the best edition
