Synopsis
Virtually unread during his lifetime, Friedrich Nietzsche has become one of the most controversial of the great thinkers. His rejection of the ethical constrictions of traditional morality--and Christianity in particular--would outrage critics while inspiring the Existentialist school of philosophy. His core writings are excerpted here, including Will to Power, The Death of God, The Immoralist and Higher Humanity, accompanied by thoughtful essays that set each in its critical and historical context.
