Summary
Dawn is the most recent volume to appear in the first complete， critical， and annotated English edition of all of Nietzsche's work。 The edition， organized originally by Ernst Behler and Bernd Magnus， is a translation of the celebrated Kritische Studienausgabe in 15 Bänden （1980） edited by Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari。 The book is the first to appear under the editorial direction of Alan D。 Schrift， Keith Ansell-Pearson， and Duncan Large， and to incorporate subsequent corrections to the 1980 edition。
Continuing the positivistic turn of Human， All Too Human， Dawn is the second installment in the free spirit trilogy that culminated in The Joyful Science。 One of Nietzsche's "yes-saying" books， it marks his first significant confrontation with morality and offers glimpses of many of the signature themes in his mature works。 Dawn has come to be admired in recent years for its ethical naturalism， psychological observations， and therapeutic insights。 Presented in Nietzsche's aphoristic style， it is a text with hidden riches， one that must be read between the lines and one that the discerning reader will admire and cherish。

The Free Spirit trilogy （HATH， D， TGS） is my favorite phase of Nietzsche since in my opinion it's the quintessential period to understand if you aim to comprehend his message。 No longer shackled by the association with Wagner， not yet extremely anti-Christian - just "a man alone with himself" who takes a journey to reinvent himself and makes numerous， dazzling observations when it comes to human mode of thinking。 The Free Spirit trilogy （HATH， D， TGS） is my favorite phase of Nietzsche since in my opinion it's the quintessential period to understand if you aim to comprehend his message。 No longer shackled by the association with Wagner， not yet extremely anti-Christian - just "a man alone with himself" who takes a journey to reinvent himself and makes numerous， dazzling observations when it comes to human mode of thinking。 。。。more

A transition book into Nietzsche's later work， Dawn of Day consists of five books of aphorisms on topics ranging from the origins of things like religion， philosophy， and social customs， to how to manage one's drives， to where philosophy and Europe should have gone， according to Nietzsche。 While I'm not sure if I would suggest people approaching Nietzsche start with Dawn， it is one of his more moderate texts。 Nonetheless， seeds of his later polemics can certainly be seen in this one。 Its aphoris A transition book into Nietzsche's later work， Dawn of Day consists of five books of aphorisms on topics ranging from the origins of things like religion， philosophy， and social customs， to how to manage one's drives， to where philosophy and Europe should have gone， according to Nietzsche。 While I'm not sure if I would suggest people approaching Nietzsche start with Dawn， it is one of his more moderate texts。 Nonetheless， seeds of his later polemics can certainly be seen in this one。 Its aphoristic style eschews systematic philosophizing， which Nietzsche considered limiting to thoughtfulness personally and philosophy in general。 As such， readers might find themselves flipping back and forth to previous pages to add notes as Nietzsche layers his different themes and ideas; this book is a good one with which to practice margin notes。The book's aphoristic style makes for the thoughts to be read in manageable chunks; it also makes it difficult to read all at once。 This was intentional。 To quote Aphorism 454: "A book such as this is not for reading straight through or reading aloud， but for cracking open， especially during a walk or on a journey; you must be able to stick your head into it and out again over and over and find about you nothing you are used to。" With its experimental， aphoristic style， Dawn embodies much of what Nietzsche would advocate in his latter works while maintaining a more mild， though still rigorous， tone than one finds in， say， Beyond Good and Evil or The Antichrist。 。。。more

An interesting look at the middle Nietzsche and a very enjoyable read。Very calmly dissects common morality and prefigures a lot of his later thought。He explicitly harps on the scientific temperament and reason as important for showing us the way out of the morass of common beliefs。 Rails against ascetic and fideistic tendencies， which he perceives a lot of in Romanticism and German Idealism。 Know Thyself” is the Whole of Science。—Only when man shall have acquired a knowledge of all things will h An interesting look at the middle Nietzsche and a very enjoyable read。Very calmly dissects common morality and prefigures a lot of his later thought。He explicitly harps on the scientific temperament and reason as important for showing us the way out of the morass of common beliefs。 Rails against ascetic and fideistic tendencies， which he perceives a lot of in Romanticism and German Idealism。 Know Thyself” is the Whole of Science。—Only when man shall have acquired a knowledge of all things will he be able to know himself。 For things are but the boundaries of man。 Morality is not unique to man， in fact， nothing much is unique to man except in degree。 E。g。 Morality exists in the herd。 Ascetics， practitioners of 'Pure Spirit'， Christianity， as opposed to body thrive on intoxication of mind， instead of nutrition。 Not ideal。He also criticizes a lot of the capitalistic work ethic: 'You wish to form part of a system in which you must be a wheel， fully and completely， or risk being crushed by wheels！' and advocates philosophical solitude for the 'deep silence of pregnancy' of thought。 Our epoch above all， wastes intellect （as on politics and economics。 One wonders what he would've thought of the millions of bright people today going into the tech industry to 'make people click on stuff'）。The criminal should be treated as a sick person and rehabilitated。 What was previously done for the 'love of God' is now done for the 'love of money'。 In 206， he points out the folly of the working class to think more money will solve their problems; and advocates them to emigrate and escape being mastered and become masters of themselves。The will to power as a psychological principle is prefigured here although not by name。 Man always seeks power， more than sustenance。 Possess as much artistic capacity to set off your vices with your virtues。 In 223， the dreaded eye explains the self-critical mindset the artist suffers。 Dissimulation leads to us actually becoming so。 We are like shop-windows， where we ourselves are constantly arranging， concealing， or setting in the foreground those supposed qualities which others attribute to us—in order to deceive ourselves。The world had an ethical significance and therefore people approved of philosophy in the past。 Our investigations have unearthed that it has very little to do with us: and so we dislike science。 Thus the German Romantics and the Idealists have now taken over philosophy。True science must be inter-generational， no longer can one man grasp the entirety in his life。 They previously tried to do so， because it was quite literally a matter of life and death。 The loss of belief in the immortal soul had this advantage， that we can accrue knowledge instead of claiming it once and for all。We have the best reason for speaking of “genius” in men—for example， Plato， Spinoza， and Goethe—whose minds appear to be but loosely linked to their character and temperament， like winged beings which easily separate themselves from them， and then rise far above them。 Coming after his break with Wagner， he inveighs against the cult of personality， instead of knowledge。 His anti-realism is amply displayed: The habits of our senses have wrapped us up in a tissue of lying sensations which in their turn lie at the base of all our judgments and our “knowledge，”—there are no means of exit or escape to the real world！ We are like spiders in our own webs， and， whatever we may catch in them， it will only be something that our web is capable of catching。Some other interesting quotes:Happiness lies in knowledge， in the activity of a well practised and inventive understanding （not in “intuition” like the German theologians and semi-theologians; not in visions， like the mystics; and not in work， like the merely practical men）。As the sense of causality increases， so does the extent of the domain of morality decrease: for every time one has been able to grasp the necessary effects， and to conceive them as distinct from all incidentals and chance possibilities （post hoc）， one has， at the same time， destroyed an enormous number of imaginary causalities， which had hitherto been believed in as the basis of morals—the real world is much smaller than the world of our imagination—and each time also one casts away a certain amount of one's anxiousness and coercion， and some of our reverence for the authority of custom is lost: morality in general undergoes a diminution。Wherever we understand we become amiable， happy， and ingenious; and when we have learnt enough， and have trained our eyes and ears， our souls show greater plasticity and charm。If， like the thinker， we live habitually amid the great current of ideas and feelings， and even our dreams follow this current， we expect comfort and peacefulness from life， while others wish to rest from life when they give themselves up to meditation。O ye poor fellows in the great centres of the world's politics， ye young and talented men， who， urged on by ambition， think it your duty to propound your opinion of every event of the day，—for something is always happening，—who， by thus making a noise and raising a cloud of dust， mistake yourselves for the rolling chariot of history; who， because ye always listen， always suit the moment when ye can put in your word or two， thereby lose all real productiveness。 Whatever may be your desire to accomplish great deeds， the deep silence of pregnancy never comes to you！ The event of the day sweeps you along like straws before the wind whilst ye lie under the illusion that ye are chasing the event，—poor fellows！ 。。。more

Still the usual 1/3 "oh yes this is great，" 1/3 "I think I somewhat understand that，" and 1/3 "I have no clue what this means" that is the usual with Nietzsche （and I guess philosophy in general）， but I still liked reading it。 The aphoristic style also continues to throw me off because it always difficult to piece them together。 But what I can say for sure is that Nietzsche's later thought is fully present in nascent form here， and as such it is interesting to see， for example， the will to power Still the usual 1/3 "oh yes this is great，" 1/3 "I think I somewhat understand that，" and 1/3 "I have no clue what this means" that is the usual with Nietzsche （and I guess philosophy in general）， but I still liked reading it。 The aphoristic style also continues to throw me off because it always difficult to piece them together。 But what I can say for sure is that Nietzsche's later thought is fully present in nascent form here， and as such it is interesting to see， for example， the will to power before it was "officially" called that。 This work also fits well with Human， All Too Human in that it includes a lot of the insights and integrates them with the bigger picture。 This book is the dawn of Nietzsche's attack on morality， of his declaration of immoralism， and perhaps even the declaration of his task。 But it is always difficult to get from the micro （aphorism to aphorism） to the macro （attack on morality， etc。）。These were my favorite aphorisms-9，26，30，48，49，60，113，114，132，142，147，148，174，175，176，177，178，201，206，262，270，271，343，370，425，426，453，477。 。。。more

Amazing book， but if youre going to read it know this。 You need to take your time and be super patient， really break down and read between the lines with every aphorism， some are pretty clear but most are like a puzzle you have to kind of piece together。 Also， get ready for the uprooting of everything you thought you knew。 Enjoy。

Bu kitapta ahlaka duyulan güvene son veriliyor。Her bireysel eylem dehşet uyandırır。 Her türlü özgünlük rahatsızlık verir。Ahlak daha yeni ve daha iyi geleneklerin ortaya çıkmasına karşı koyar。 Aptallaştırır。Freud’un öncülü， Freud’u çağırır。Hıristiyanlığın inanç şemsiyesini kapatabilmesini sağlayan kuşkunun günah olmasıdır。 İnanç denizinde yüzerken kıyıya bir bakış bile günahtır。Yaşamımızın anlamını biz icat ediyoruz ve birbirini izleyen şeylere neden ve sonuç diyoruz。Kant yavanlığı yerine Schopen Bu kitapta ahlaka duyulan güvene son veriliyor。Her bireysel eylem dehşet uyandırır。 Her türlü özgünlük rahatsızlık verir。Ahlak daha yeni ve daha iyi geleneklerin ortaya çıkmasına karşı koyar。 Aptallaştırır。Freud’un öncülü， Freud’u çağırır。Hıristiyanlığın inanç şemsiyesini kapatabilmesini sağlayan kuşkunun günah olmasıdır。 İnanç denizinde yüzerken kıyıya bir bakış bile günahtır。Yaşamımızın anlamını biz icat ediyoruz ve birbirini izleyen şeylere neden ve sonuç diyoruz。Kant yavanlığı yerine Schopenhauer。Ve unutmayın ki， ticaretten anlamamak soyluluktur。Alıntılar:Korkak yalnızlığın ne olduğunu bilmez: Sandalyesinin arkasında hep bir düşman vardır。 - Ah， keşke birisi bize yalnızlık denilen o ince duygunun öyküsünü anlatabilse！ （sf。 178）Düşüncelerimizi kullanılmaya hazır sözcüklerle ifade ederiz。 Ya da şüphemi tam anlamıyla dile getirecek olursam: Bizim her an sadece elimizde bulunan sözcüklerin aşağı yukarı ifade edebileceği düşüncelerimiz vardır。 （sf。 182）Şu karantina günlerinde herkese iyi gelecek bir alıntıyla bitirmek istiyorum:Bizim eğitime ve öğretim biçimimizdeki en büyük eksikliğin ne olduğunu zamanla anladım: Yalnızlığa katlanmayı - kimse öğrenmiyor， kimse buna çaba göstermiyor ve kimse öğretmiyor。（sf。235）Yaşamını gerçeğe adayan ve feda edenlere。。。 。。。more

He subtitles this Prejudices on morality and the first two of the five 'books' are roughly 200 pinpricks at the psychologistic flaws of moral thinking。 In the other books he covers other topics: Book three is devoted to nationalistic thinking， particularly the play between deceitful national stereotypes （especially those of the Greeks， whom Nietz feels everyone misunderstands and contradictorily distorts） and then a sudden turn into Nietz using this same analysis （with an implied degree of irony He subtitles this Prejudices on morality and the first two of the five 'books' are roughly 200 pinpricks at the psychologistic flaws of moral thinking。 In the other books he covers other topics: Book three is devoted to nationalistic thinking， particularly the play between deceitful national stereotypes （especially those of the Greeks， whom Nietz feels everyone misunderstands and contradictorily distorts） and then a sudden turn into Nietz using this same analysis （with an implied degree of irony） on various contemporary nationalities， particularly the french。 Books four and five are his psychologistic insights， the former into the errors，follies&stupidities men make misunderstanding， or on account of， their 'will-to-power' （although no concept is explicitly stated）; Book five is more about the philosophical person， the Freigeist of All Too Human and the Ubermensch of the later works （again neither of the terms are used）， with an emphasis on reclusion and independence that seems slightly appropriate for these quarantined days。。。 In all this feels like a companion piece to All Too Human， covering all the same topics in a similar sequence， although without any pretense to systemic terms or structure at all。 In the preface to Gay Science Nietzsche considered All Too Human， Daybreak and Gay Science a trilogy expressing the doctrine of the Freigeist （for which we can understand Zarathustra， I guess， as a third）。 Yes， it took me about a year to read this， but somewhere in book 5 Nietzsche says that it's a book to be read on random and irregular occasions。 。。。more

Açıkçası düşüncesinin derinliği ve tüm alanlara bu denli sağlam， güçlü yayılışı Nietzsche'nin， insanı kimi zaman dehşete düşürüyor。 Yüzyıllar öncesinden ve dağ doruklarından bakan keskin-kartal gözleri sanki hala uygarlığımızı anlıyor， bizi anlıyor bir seferinde ve gözlerini üstümüzde hissettiğimiz anda yutkunup terliyoruz。 İşte böyle Nietzsche okumak。 Geriye kalan kitaplarını okumayı elbette fırsat buldukça sürdüreceğim。 Açıkçası düşüncesinin derinliği ve tüm alanlara bu denli sağlam， güçlü yayılışı Nietzsche'nin， insanı kimi zaman dehşete düşürüyor。 Yüzyıllar öncesinden ve dağ doruklarından bakan keskin-kartal gözleri sanki hala uygarlığımızı anlıyor， bizi anlıyor bir seferinde ve gözlerini üstümüzde hissettiğimiz anda yutkunup terliyoruz。 İşte böyle Nietzsche okumak。 Geriye kalan kitaplarını okumayı elbette fırsat buldukça sürdüreceğim。 。。。more

A faint shadow， indeed， at the dawn of works yet to come。 Published in 1881， translated into English in 1911， lacks the sustained arguments， the wit and eloquence， the elegance of coming works。 575 loose aphorisms， no eternal return。 Not a good place to start or to finish reading or thinking Nietzsche。

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 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 。。。more

''Önsözde ''sondaj yapacağım'' diyordu， özellikle 1。 bölümde adeta bir antropolog gibiydi。 Nietzsche'yi en çok tarihöncesinde bir yolculuğa çıktığında okumayı seviyorum。 ''Önsözde ''sondaj yapacağım'' diyordu， özellikle 1。 bölümde adeta bir antropolog gibiydi。 Nietzsche'yi en çok tarihöncesinde bir yolculuğa çıktığında okumayı seviyorum。 。。。more
