The Dawn of Day - Paperback

A 19th-century philosopher who challenged the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality, Nietzsche has inspired leading figures in all walks of cultural life. This compendium of aphorisms and prose poems marks the advent of his mature philosophy. The Dawn of Day represents an essential guide to understanding his later, better-known works.The clear, calm and intimate style of this aphoristic book seems to invite a particular experience, rather than showing concern with persuading his readers to accept any point of view. He would develop many of the ideas advanced here more fully in later books and as such, The Dawn of Day acts as the quintessential primer for a more complete grasp on the influential philosophies of Nietzsche.Cover photography by Paul Spremulli.
