Redpill me on picrel. Worth reading, or did his sister's /pol/tard editing ruin it?

Her editing is irrelevant since that edition is based only on what is in Nietzsche’s own handwriting

I enjoyed it. If you already like Nietzsche it's a fun read, you can tell a lot of it wasn't anything more than him going off on some subject when he was feeling extra saucy. Goes off the rails now and then but greatness is there. I'm starting to read the gay science now.

Read the editor's introduction then decide

I want to read this just so I can be confident when I tell people they have a slave morality. Currently I do that, but I don't want to get it wrong and get rekt.

No I want you to decide for me

It's not like him at all. It's rather dry, and formatted like a 'traditional philosophy text'
I prefer the essays, the aphorisms, and the aphoristic essay fragments

>>24709951
What. It’s basically an anthology of his notes

>>24710033
That's an overstatement. The book is formatted in such a way to look like a philosophy text.
>basically an anthology of his notes
Does work as an adequate description of Walter Benjamin's Arcades Project, however..

>>24710048
The book might have been formatted that way by his sister but as-is Nietzsche never finished it and it is full of a lot of isolated thoughts and paragraphs

I don't know, it's been awhile since reading it, but I do remember that my impression was 'this isn't Nietzsche'
As a poet and philosophical essayist he never fails to interest, but in that alien form (made to look official?) I found him rather dull. Perhaps it's time for a reread
