Ludovici\u003c\/b\u003e (Translator)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA work of Nietzsche's later years, The Antichrist was written after Thus Spoke Zarathustra and shortly before the mental collapse that incapacitated him for the rest of his life. The work is both an unrestrained attack on Christianity and a further exposition of Nietzsche's will-to-power philosophy so dramatically presented in Zarathustra.Christianity, says Nietzsche, represents \"everything weak, low, and botched; it has made an ideal out of antagonism towards all the self-preservative instincts of strong life.\" By contrast, Nietzsche defines good as: \"All that enhances the feeling of power, the Will to Power, and power itself in man. What is bad? -- All that proceeds from weakness. What is happiness? -- The feeling that power is increasing, that resistance has been overcome.\"In attempting to redefine the basis of Western values by demolishing the formative influence of the Judeo-Christian tradition, The Antichrist has proved to be highly controversial and continuously stimulating to later generations of philosophers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE\u003c\/b\u003e was born on October 15, 1844, to the family of a Protestant minister in the town of R?cken, which is located in the Saxony-Anhalt region of what is now eastern Germany. After studing philosophy in Bonn and Leipzig, Nietzsche became a professor at the University of Basel, Switzerland, in 1869. Later he opted to become a Swiss citizen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile working in Switzerland, he published his first book, a literary work titled \u003ci\u003eThe Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music\u003c\/i\u003e. This volume was produced during Nietzsche's friendship with the composer Richard Wagner, though only a few years would pass before the two would part ways as a result of personal and intellectual differences. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn failing health and unable to devote himself full time to both teaching and independent writing, Nietzsche chose to resign his university position. During the next decade he wrote such works as \u003ci\u003eThus Spake Zarathustra\u003c\/i\u003e (most of which appeared in 1883), \u003ci\u003eBeyond Good and Evil\u003c\/i\u003e (1886), \u003ci\u003eGenealogy of Morals \u003c\/i\u003e(1887), \u003ci\u003eTwilight of the Gods\u003c\/i\u003e (1888), \u003ci\u003eAntichrist\u003c\/i\u003e (1888), and\u003ci\u003e Ecce Homo\u003c\/i\u003e (1888). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHis collapse while in Turin, Italy, in early 1899, would prove the beginning of a long and arduous struggle with ill health and insanity. Nietzsche died in the care of his family in Weimar on August 25, 1900, just a few weeks prior to his fifty-sixth birthday. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNietzsche advocated the view that all humankind should reject otherworldliness and instead rely on its own creative potential to discover values that best serve the social good. His infamous \"superman\" or \"overman\" is one who has recognized how to channel individual passions in the direction of creative outlets. In rejecting the morality of the masses, Nietzsche celebrates the pursuit of classical virtues.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 x 8.38 x 5.45 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2000\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47347473776889,"sku":"9781573928328","price":20.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/tXnzptl2t9781573928328_404e29b1-2324-49fc-b5b3-39838db996bc.webp?v=1769764242","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-antichrist-paperback-30","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
