Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and author. Born into a line of Protestant churchman, Nietzsche studied Classical literature and language before becoming a professor at the University of Basel in Switzerland. He became a philosopher after reading Schopenhauer, who suggested that God does not exist, and that life is filled with pain and suffering. Nietzsche s first work of prominence was The Birth of Tragedy in 1872, which contained new theories regarding the origins of classical Greek culture. From 1883 to 1885 Nietzsche composed his most famous work, Thus Spake Zarathustra, in which he famously proclaimed that God is dead. He went on to release several more notable works including Beyond Good and Evil and The Genealogy of Morals, both of which dealt with the origins of moral values. Nietzsche suffered a nervous breakdown in 1889 and passed away in 1900, but not before giving us his most famous quote, From life's school of war: what does not kill me makes me stronger.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This is a literary assassination of Christianity by the 'philosopher with a hammer' at the height of his power, vitriol, and some say, madness. Soon after completing The Antichrist, Nietzsche collapsed and never fully recovered, dying two years later. Negating not only the Bible and its teachings but also reinforcing Nietzsce's insistence on man's survival by the Will to Power, these words a century on still hammer home the devastating, uneluctable message: God is dead! Includes the previously untranslated Fragments From a Shattered Mind. Friedrich Nietzsche's "The Antichrist" might be more aptly named "The Antichristian," for it is an unmitigated attack on Christianity that Nietzsche makes within the text instead of an exposition on evil or Satan as the title might suggest. In "The Antichrist," Nietzsche presents a highly controversial view of Christianity as a damaging influence upon western civilization that must come to an end. Regardless of ones religious or philosophical point of view, "The Antichrist" makes for an engaging philosophical discourse.
