This was a somewhat interesting read, mostly his thoughts on a variety of topics, from God and Religion, the Arts, Women and a whole lot else. Chapters like: "The Indestructibility of Being", "The Will to Live", "On The Vanity of Existence" etc. Some of it's insightful, but conclusions I'd arrived at (or would have, had I thought about the topics with the same investment he had), some of it - well, you can disagree but still take his point of view.
Despite some of his remarkably progressive views I was taken with his views on women, and how they must be humoured and tolerated, a genuinely patronizing tone that simply wouldn't cut it today. Contrast this with John Stuart Mill's, who had a very successful relationship with his muse and was thoroughly in favour of Women being given the right to vote, etc.
Overall a surprisingly easy read for a German Philosopher.
Now to clean up a few other half-finished books so I can enter the New Year with a new reading list.
