Here, Nietzsche assesses Christianity's role in the determination of moral values as the highest values and of redemption as the representation of humanity's highest aspirations. These notes show the resulting tension between Nietzsche's contrasting thoughts on modernity, which he critiques as an unrecognized aftereffect of the Christian worldview, but also views as the springboard to \"the dawn\" of a transformed humanity and culture. The fragments further allow readers insight into Nietzsche's continuous internal debate with exemplary figures in his own life and culture--Napoleon, Schopenhauer, and Wagner--who represented challenges to hitherto existing morals and culture--challenges that remained exemplary for Nietzsche precisely in their failure. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePresented in Nietzsche's aphoristic style, \u003ci\u003eDawn\u003c\/i\u003e is a book that must be read between the lines, and these fragments are an essential aid to students and scholars seeking to probe this work and its partners. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ.
