Why read it?
1 author picked Hiking with Nietzsche as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
"I promised myself, I would never teach my students Nietzsche", quipped one of my philosophy professors in college. Nietzsche was so engaging, but so misunderstood. Reading Nietzsche was in short, dangerous.
In search of a climate that might soothe his poor health, and inspiration for his writing, Nietzsche took to hiking around the alps. "All great thoughts are conceived while walking", he once said. Our author, John Kaag, travels to Switzerland to retrace Nietzsche's hikes and teach us about the great and controversial thinker. This book serves as a wonderful introduction to the thoughts of the philosopher.
