Nietzsche, um crítico mordaz da cultura ocidental, defende neste livro a tese de que os pensadores anteriores a Platão foram os únicos a compreender a dimensão trágica das forças que regem a vida dos homens (trata-se de um dos textos mais importantes sobre a filosofia pré-socrática).

The Napoleonic Wars radically altered the old, established European power dynamics, and in 1795, the British, now emerging as the globe’s naval superpower, assumed control of the Cape as part of the spoils of war. In doing so, they recognized the enormous strategic value of the Cape as global shipping routes were developing and expanding. Possession passed back and forth once or twice, but more or less from that point onward, the British established their presence at the Cape, which they held until the unification of South Africa in 1910.
