Not much more than a polemic

A profoundly and arrogantly racist work, grounded entirely in baseless supposition and sweeping generalization. It reads like a fervent and heartfelt prayer whose direct answer came in the person of Adolf Hitler. It may be true that Nietzsche, in contrast to many of his contemporaries, was not an anti-Semite - however, his unmasked contempt and loathing for the infirm and marginalized members of society looms large and ironical given his own eventual fate.

The chief point of interest that I found in this work was his speculative exploration of morality arising out of the master / slave mentality, the sole basis of which, however, flowed unproven from his own unbounded thought-experiments. A masterpiece of vague and self-serving circular logic.

Seriously.
