The Anti-Christ

Beschreibung

Here is Friedrich Nietzsche's great masterpiece The Anti-Christ wherein Nietzsche attacks Christianity as a blight on humanity. This classic is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand Nietzsche and his place within the history of philosophy."We should not deck out and embellish Christianity: it has waged a war to the death against this higher type of man it has put all the deepest instincts of this type under its ban it has developed its concept of evil of the Evil One himself out of these instincts-the strong man as the typical reprobate the 'outcast among men.' Christianity has taken the part of all the weak the low the botched; it has made an ideal out of antagonism to all the self-preservative instincts of sound life; it has corrupted even the faculties of those natures that are intellectually most vigorous by representing the highest intellectual values as sinful as misleading as full of temptation. The most lamentable example: the corruption of Pascal who believed that his intellect had been destroyed by original sin whereas it was actually destroyed by Christianity!" -Friedrich Nietzsche

Autor

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, classical scholar, and cultural critic, known for his profound influence on modern thought. Born on October 15, 1844, in R cken, Germany, Nietzsche initially pursued a career as a classical philologist before transitioning to philosophy. His works challenged traditional beliefs, and his critiques of culture, religion, and morality made him one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century. Nietzsche's writings explored complex concepts such as the "will to power," the " bermensch," and the idea of the eternal recurrence. His works, including "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and "Beyond Good and Evil," questioned the foundations of Western philosophy and introduced ideas that would later shape existentialism and postmodernism. Nietzsche s intellectual journey was influenced by figures like Arthur Schopenhauer and Fyodor Dostoevsky. He faced personal struggles throughout his life, including mental illness, which led to his decline in health. He passed away on August 25, 1900, in Weimar, Germany, at the age of 55. Nietzsche s parents were Carl Ludwig Nietzsche and Franziska Oehler, and he had a brother, Ludwig Joseph Nietzsche, and a sister, Elisabeth F rster-Nietzsche. His groundbreaking ideas continue to resonate in contemporary philosophy and culture.
