Relation Conducive To Books Daybreak: Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality
Daybreak marks the arrival of Nietzsche's 'mature' philosophy and is indispensable for an understanding of his critique of morality and 'revaluation of all values'. This volume presents the distinguished translation by R. J. Hollingdale, with a new introduction that argues for a dramatic change in Nietzsche's views from Human, All too Human to Daybreak, and shows how this change, in turn, presages the main themes of Nietzsche's later and better-known works such as On the Genealogy of Morality. The edition is completed by a chronology, notes and a guide to further reading.Itemize Out Of Books Daybreak: Thoughts on the Prejudices of Morality

Doubt as sin. Christianity has done its utmost to close the circle and declared even doubt to be sin. One is supposed to be cast into belief without reason, by a miracle, and from then on to swim in it as in the brightest and least ambiguous of elements: even a glance towards land, even the thought that one perhaps exists for something else as well as swimming, even the slightest impulse of our amphibious nature is sin! And notice that all this means that the foundation of belief and all
I first came across Nietzsche 7 years ago with Antichrist. It was a sort of Epiphany to me. Then came Zarathustra which shook me to the core. Every now and then I open it and read a few passages like christians do with the holy bible.Daybreak is a collection of aphorisms concerning a large variety of topics, from every-day things like the feeling of shame, to deeper, more delicate matters like the perception of morality and sin. Nietzsche, a hater of pretentiousness, fights it as always breaking
This book is probably the one that I would recommend someone new to Nietzsche to start from. I think the translator (into Finnish) did a marvelous job. All in all, I really enjoyed this one, easier than most of Nietzsche's work, but contains a lot of gems. 5/5
Even more so than in Human, All Too Human does one find the foundational structure of Nietzsche's mature thought in the numerous gnomic partitions of Daybreakparticularly that which polemicizes the Christian moral/ethical system as a spirit-straightening procedure for elevating the herd mentality and its attendant frailty to a point of sustenance, and the collusion of intellected, communal civilization against the jagged, primordial earthiness of nature-in-the-raw. Yet there lies an abundance of
