Posthumously published collection of the philosopher's notes on the force that drives humans toward achievement. Absorbing reflections by a great thinker on art, morality, Christianity, nihilism, and other topics.
German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) ranks among the most influential of modern thinkers. His explorations of the motives underlying Western philosophy, religion, and morality have exercised a profound effect on generations of writers, theologians, philosophers, and psychologists. Although Nietzsche was strongly opposed to nationalism and anti-Semitism, his works were appropriated by Fascists to support the very concepts he deplored.
