Produktbeschreibung
The Christian concept of a god-the god as the patron of the sick, the god as a spinner of cobwebs, the god as a spirit-is one of the most corrupt concepts that has ever been set up in the world... In him nothingness is deified, and the will to nothingness is made holySee Sharp Press; Tuscon, AZ -from The Anti-Christ He's one of the most debated thinkers of the 19th century: Nietzsche and his works have been by turns vilified, lauded, and subjected to numerous contradictory interpretations, and yet he remains a figure of profound import, and his works a necessary component of a well-rounded education. The Anti-Christ, first published in German in 1895, is absolutely vital to any meaningful understanding of Nietzsche the man and Nietzsche the philosopher. An insightful and entertaining indictment of Christianity, it has enraged and inspired generations of readers, and this 1920 translation, by H. L. Mencken, considered the best available, is almost as controversial as the work itself, highlighting the darkest side of Mencken's cynicism. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Nietzsche's The Use and Abuse of History. German psychologist and philosopher FRIEDRICH WILHELM NIETZSCHE (1844-1900) was appointed special professor of classical philology at the University of Basel at the precocious age of 24, but soon found himself dissatisfied with academic life and created an alternative intellectual society for himself among friends including composer Richard Wagner, historian Jakob Burckhardt, and theologian Franz Overbeck. Among his philosophical works are Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, and Ecce Homo.
Autorenporträt
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche war ein deutscher klassischer Philologe. Postum machten ihn seine Schriften als Philosophen weltberühmt. Im Nebenwerk schuf er Dichtungen und musikalische Kompositionen. Er war zunächst preußischer Staatsbürger, ab seiner Übersiedlung nach Basel 1869 war er staatenlos. Im Alter von 24 Jahren wurde Nietzsche unmittelbar im Anschluss an sein Studium an der Universität Basel Professor für klassische Philologie. Bereits zehn Jahre später legte er 1879 aus gesundheitlichen Gründen die Professur nieder. Von nun an bereiste er - auf der Suche nach Orten, deren Klima sich günstig auf seine Migräne und Magenleiden auswirken sollten - Frankreich, Italien, Deutschland und die Schweiz. Ab seinem 45. Lebensjahr (1889) litt er unter einer psychischen Krankheit, die ihn arbeits- und geschäftsunfähig machte. Seinen Anfang der 1890er Jahre rasch einsetzenden Ruhm hat er deshalb nicht mehr bewusst erlebt. Er verbrachte den Rest seines Lebens als Pflegefall in der Obhut zunächst seiner Mutter, dann seiner Schwester und starb 1900 im Alter von 55 Jahren.
