Nietzsche

"Together with Marx and Freud, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) is one of the main sources of twentieth-century thought. His formulations that God is dead, that the world is the product of the will to power, and that true value lies in a morality of strenuousness, have become part of the European experience in our age. This book is an exhilarating examination of Nietzsche's work: in a series of analyses of his 'philosophical experiments', the author elucidates Nietzsche's existentialism by reference to the main events of his life, and to his astounding range of styles and vision of language." --Descripción del editor.
