Don't bother.

I had a hard time listening to this wittering tripe. I'm pretty sure he was drunk when he wrote this. Also, the narrator must have been on Haldol.

Just right at 1.5x

Interesting perspectives. Nietzsche was quite the master of rhetoric. This is a collection of 3 essays, the second in a trilogy.

He commences with an essay contrasting 'good' and 'evil' relative to 'good'. In the second, his focus is on how The concept of 'guilt' weaseled its way into usage by way of herd morality through the conduit of religion. Finally, he differentiates 'ascetic' across three actors.

The voice acting helped bring the story to life...

Revisado: 10-30-17

Even so, the story content itself was weak. Plato is a bit overrated. I did find it humorous at times. His musings don't connect if you don't buy into the whole 'soul and virtue' worldview.

The worst thing is that the recording is segmented into approximately 2-minute segments--295 of them--, so it a bit distracting (at least through the Audible app).

Interesting Confabulation

Revisado: 10-20-17

Having wanted to 'read' this as a source rather than snippets of quotes, I opted for a versiin with context and commentary.

The commentary was fine, and the content reflective of its place in time.

The narrator presented clearly and was easy to listen to. However, her mispronounciation of in excess of a dozen words, including names of people, was distracting and the reason I didn't rate 5 stars.

Straightforward narration by the author

Revisado: 08-07-17

The author provides compelling rationale to why there can be no objective morality and that all morality is in fact a thinly veiled power structure.

Wrong Narrator

Revisado: 08-04-17

Having had just listened to Jeremy Irons wonderfully narrate Lolita, I wanted mire Nabokov, but after 5 chapters, I couldnt continue. I couldn't get past the narrator, so my rating of the story suffers, as I couldn't extricate it.

I had heard Morey narrate a Stephen Pinker book, and he fit the genre well. I'll suggest he stick to non-fiction.

One of the best written novels of the 20th century

Revisado: 08-03-17

Such a full and poetic grasp of the English language and with just the right detail, Nabokov unreliably narrates his travails with Lo. I wish I had read this sooner.

Jeremy Iron's narration was top notch, but his baritone delivery made it more difficult to understand whilst driving. Still, I managed.

Not as good as Second Machine Age;

Revisado: 07-17-17

Still worth a listen. Nice stories and perspectives, but concepts not as novel as Second Machine Age.

Still interesting all these years later

Revisado: 06-20-16

Although still relevant, I wish Glick would have provided more recent substantive updates. Still worth the read.

Excellent Text Brought to Life

Revisado: 05-17-16

Dennis Boutsikaris breathes life into Siddhartha Mukherjee's narrative on the history of the gene or genetics, as it were. I've only made it through part one, as it was just released this morning.

The information is not particularly new, but it is packaged quite well. Dr. Mukherjee starts with some personal anecdotes regarding mental illness before delving into the history commenced in ancient Egypt and through Darwin.

I expect the remainder to be as interesting.
