I want to start reading Nietzsche, but i don't know where to start. My friend said to start with Zarathustra, was he right? Pic unrelated

lets be honest, the "very short introduction...." series is about the right level for your average post-2015 /lit/ poster.

Zarathustra should be your last book.

Schopenhauer
Other than that Zarathustra is correct. The story-like telling and dialogues and the length of it make it a far better introduction than gay science or something. You'll probably misunderstand a lot but it's not like you can't reread it after having read the rest.

Stage 6 if you only want Nietzsche although personally I would read stage 1 and Schopenhauer first if you haven't already

whoever made this needs to be shot

that's not even how you start with the Greeks

>> No.10060637

Birth of Tragedy followed by Human, All Too-Human is a good starting point to me

Chronological order. Though you should read Kant, Hegel, and Schopenhaurer first.
