### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better Than Kaufmann For The Layman
*by P***L on October 8, 2011*

Maybe you're an etymologist, a philologist, a grammarian. If so, you'll probably hate this translation because it doesn't capture the essence of whatever you think is the pure translation of the work of the man who slayed God to become a god. I have no use for people like you. Nietzsche said something to the effect of writing simply and plainly in order to be understood. People who write with ridiculous affectations do so in order to signal their status as an intellectual and hide the fact that their thoughts lack profundity. What am I getting at? Kaufmann's translations were done in the 1950s or so. In the brief period between then and now, American English has already evolved. Watch any black and white film and compare the actors' manner of speaking with those in a modern film. Obviously, they're very different. Language is not just style; it's contextual. Without capturing the context of meaning, it may as well be in a foreign language. Again, I'm speaking as a layman for the benefit of other laymen. I can't speak to this entire volume, but I'm reading Twilight of the Idols now in this Cambridge translation. It is far superior to Kaufmann's as far as readability is concerned. The critics will complain that this Ridley/Norman translation doesn't capture some original essence. If you want original, learn German and read it in German. I bet Germans would have a hard time reading the original texts. Bottom line: 1. languages change; modern translations are more readable. 2. pedants always proclaim that the old is better because they're aristocratic chalatans with too much free time who don't understand their status as reviewers means nothing. They intentionally or unintentionally trick people into taking unnecessarily difficult tasks. Here's an excerpt from Twilight for you to compare so you can make up your own mind. From Cambridge (Ridley/Norman) - Twilight of the Idols, p. 164-165 "I have shown how Socrates could be repulsive: which makes it even more important to explain the fact that he fascinated. -- That he discovered a new type of agon, that he was its first fencing master in the noble circles of Athens -- this is one thing." From Kaufmann, p. 476 (The Portable Nietzsche) "I have given to understand how it was that Socrates could repel: it is therefore all the more necessary to explain his fascination. That he discovered a new kind of agon, that he became its first fencing master for the noble circles of Athens, is one point." ---- If you're a layman that wants to read and understand Nietzsche without the added layer of obfuscation that comes about from reading awkward sentences, get this translation. I am speaking only about Twilight; I cannot vouch for the other translated books, which may or may not be good, as I have not read them. If you want to be an academic blowhard who wants to add an unnecessary layer of difficulty to Nietzsche's already difficult concepts, then by all means, get the Kaufmann translations.
