About
This dataset provides a collection of Friedrich Nietzsche's most renowned literary works, specifically tailored for data and philosophy enthusiasts. Its primary aim is to offer a rich text corpus for Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, though it lends itself to a broad range of creative data explorations. The content consists of the corpus from each of his famous books, including titles like Beyond Good and Evil and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The original texts were web scraped, then cleaned and tokenised to ensure readiness for analytical applications. This valuable resource was made possible by Project Gutenberg, a platform that champions accessible knowledge.
Columns
- Auto-increment: A unique identifier for each record.
- book_title: The title of the book from which the text is extracted.
- publishing_date: The original publication date of the specific book.
- text: The unaltered, original text as it was web scraped.
- text_clean: A refined, cleaned version of the original text, prepared for analysis.
