Nietzsche

The philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche turned the generally accepted values of modern Western society upside down--religious spiritual moral ethical and Christian presumptions were all questioned tested and cast aside as ultimately useless to man and his ascension to a higher purpose: a more self-actualized awareness of the universe and the meaning of his birth and ultimate demise. Thi small easily intellectually digestible volume will serve as a starting point for the sincere scholar who may seek out the road less traveled by diving into the mental and spiritual depths of a man long considered to be one of the most influential intellects of the ages. About the author--Friedrich Nietzsche was born on October 14th near Leipzig Germany. He ascended the ranks of academia early becoming a professor at the age of twenty-four with a keen interest in philosophy as well as philology. His friendship with composer Richard Wagner ended in 1876 with Nietzsche writing a scathing critique of the composer and his spiritual influence. In short order a succession of major philosophic works followed including The Birth of Tragedy Thus Spake Zarathustra Twilight of the Idols and Human All Too Human. He died in an asylum in 1900. He was 55 years old.
