Bringing the Best of Friedrich Nietzsche Together.The Antichrist (German: Der Antichrist): is a book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche originally published in 1895. 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. In Anti-Christ he identifies himself with the Dionysian artist and confronts Christ: the only opponent he feels worthy of him.The Birth Of Tragedy: The first book by the author of the classic philosophical text Beyond Good and Evil.The Birth of Tragedy is a young mans work and shows the influence of many of the philosophers Nietzsche had been studying. His interest in classical Greece as in some respects a rational society can be attributed in some measure to the influence of Johann Joachim Winckelmann although Nietzsche departed from Winckelmann in many ways. But the book whatever its excesses remains one of the most relevant statements on tragedy ever penned. It exploded the conception of Greek culture that was prevalent down through the Victorian era and it analyzed themes developed in the twentieth century by classicists existentialists psychoanalysts and others.
