"A sympathetic, measured interpretation of his most difficult and notorious teachings. Wicks is an able guide through the labyrinthe of Nietzsche's philosophy."
Description
Discover the truth about the much-misunderstood thinker
Often quoted yet highly divisive, Nietzsche remains an enigma long after his death. This clear primer moves deftly through the controversy to examine the philosopher's work in the context of his tumultuous childhood and Christian upbringing. Discussing his infamous declaration that God is dead, his posthumous association with Nazism, and his criticisms of conventional morality, this book is the ideal introduction to the much debated thinker and his extensive legacy.
