Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In The Shadow of the Antichrist, Williams fills a significant gap in the scholarly literature by examining Nietzsche's critique of Christianity and his continuing influence.

Download or read book The Antichrist and Ecce Homo written by Friedrich Nietzsche and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Antichrist: Is probably the most well-known work of German Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. He used this book to speak on his disdain for organized religion. One of his most talked about and enduring lines from the book is 'God is dead.' He believed that people should not turn to traditional Christian values but more toward science or nationalism. Nietzsche's title, The Antichrist, had less to do with the Bible and more to do with his view of the 'slave morality' of Western Christianity.The Antichrist goes on to say that Christianity put weakness where virtue should be. He felt that the civilization was moved to feel sorry for people and that sentiment made people weaker. He felt the best course of action was strength. If people could be stronger through self-reliance and things that were tangible, then society as a whole could be stronger.Nietzsche believed that each person should make their own way through individual experience. He felt that this goal should not be an aspiration that a person should hope to achieve, but one that should be lived in daily life.Ecce Homo: In late 1888, only weeks before his final collapse into madness, Nietzsche (1844-1900) set out to compose his autobiography, and Ecce Homo remains one of the most intriguing yet bizarre examples of the genre ever written. In this extraordinary work Nietzsche traces his life, work and development as a philosopher, examines the heroes he has identified with, struggled against and then overcome - Schopenhauer, Wagner, Socrates, Christ - and predicts the cataclysmic impact of his 'forthcoming revelation of all values'. Both self-celebrating and self-mocking, penetrating and strange, Ecce Homo gives the final, definitive expression to Nietzsche's main beliefs and is in every way his last testament.

Download or read book Nietzsche s Jewish Problem written by Robert C. Holub and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive account of Nietzsche's views of Jews and Judaism For more than a century, Nietzsche's views about Jews and Judaism have been subject to countless polemics. The Nazis infamously fashioned the philosopher as their anti-Semitic precursor, while in the past thirty years the pendulum has swung in the opposite direction. The increasingly popular view today is that Nietzsche was not only completely free of racist tendencies but also was a principled adversary of anti-Jewish thought. Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem offers a definitive reappraisal of the controversy, taking the full historical, intellectual, and biographical context into account. As Robert Holub shows, a careful consideration of all the evidence from Nietzsche’s published and unpublished writings and letters reveals that he harbored anti-Jewish prejudices throughout his life. Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem demonstrates how this is so despite the apparent paradox of the philosopher’s well-documented opposition to the crude political anti-Semitism of the Germany of his day. As Holub explains, Nietzsche’s "anti-anti-Semitism" was motivated more by distaste for vulgar nationalism than by any objection to anti-Jewish prejudice. A richly detailed account of a controversy that goes to the heart of Nietzsche’s reputation and reception, Nietzsche’s Jewish Problem will fascinate anyone interested in philosophy, intellectual history, or the history of anti-Semitism.
Download or read book What is Nietzsche s Zarathustra written by Heinrich Meier and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book Heinrich Meier takes on the question of the meaning of Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which has long proven controversial among readers. Meier closely examines the work to find a coherent structure and uncover the meanings in the figure of Zarathustra. By showing the unity in Zarathustra's life and teaching, Meier argues that the hidden architecture of the work reveals the development of self-knowledge for the philosopher. What Is Nietzsche's Zarathustra? A Philosophical Confrontation makes clear in its careful attention to the text that Nietzsche's deepest concern is with understanding himself and the world, rather than with a view of himself as a prophet"--

Download or read book Nietzsche The Anti Christ Ecce Homo Twilight of the Idols written by Aaron Ridley and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-27 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nietzsche's late works are brilliant and uncompromising, and stand as monuments to his lucidity, rigour, and style. This volume combines, for the first time in English, five of these works: The Antichrist, Ecce Homo, Twilight of the Idols, Nietzsche contra Wagner, and The Case of Wagner. Here, Nietzsche takes on some of his greatest adversaries: traditional religion, contemporary culture, and above all his one-time hero, the composer Richard Wagner. His writing is simultaneously critical and creative, putting into practice his alternative philosophical vision, which, after more than a hundred years, still retains its startling novelty and audacity. These new translations aim to capture something of the style and rhythm of the original German, so that the reader can get a sense of Nietzsche as not just a philosopher but also a consummate artist, capable of 'dancing with his pen', and as untimely as he claims to be.
Download or read book A Nietzsche Compendium written by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche and published by Barnes & Noble Library of Esse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This convenient new compendium contains the five most philosophically significant of Nietzsche's post-Thus Spoke Zarathustra writings. Nietzsche wrote of these works that he intended them as "fish hooks" for catching readers who shared his sense that a cataclysmic shift in human psychology had suddenly occurred with the advent of nihilism - the uncanny and pervasive feeling that life is devoid of all meaning, purpose, and value. Taken together these books offer the reader a definitive account of Nietzsche's mature philosophy as he intended it to be presented and a sweeping attack upon everything the modern Western world holds to be good about itself.
Download or read book Nietzschean Narratives written by Gary Shapiro and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1989-06-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "... Shapiro's book is bursting with thoughts, and if one is willing to mine them, one is sure to find items of interest or provocation." -- The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism Taking issue with a widely held view that Nietzsche's writings are essentially fragmentary or aphoristic, Gary Shapiro focuses on the narrative mode that Nietzsche adopted in many of his works. Such themes as eternal recurrence, the question of origins, and the problematics of self-knowledge are reinterpreted in the context of the narratives in which Nietzsche develops or employs them.
