«Aurora» is Friedrich Nietzsche's book of philosophical aphorisms, published by Olañeta in paperback, in Spanish.
Subtitled «Meditaciones sobre los prejuicios morales», this volume brings together aphorisms in which Nietzsche examines the foundations of Western morality and presents it as a decadent inheritance that represses life; against it, he champions the natural impulses of the human being.
Originally published in 1881 under the title «Morgenröthe. Gedanken über die moralischen Vorurtheile»; this Spanish edition appeared in 2013.
For readers of philosophy and German classics interested in Nietzschean critique of morality.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
