A Nietzsche Compendium

By Friedrich Nietzsche

Book Overview

This convenient new compendium contains the five most philosophically significant of Nietzsche's post-Thus Spoke Zarathustra writings. Nietzsche wrote of these works that he intended them as "fish hooks" for catching readers who shared his sense that a cataclysmic shift in human psychology had suddenly occurred with the advent of nihilism - the uncanny and pervasive feeling that life is devoid of all meaning, purpose, and value. Taken together these books offer the reader a definitive account of Nietzsche's mature philosophy as he intended it to be presented and a sweeping attack upon everything the modern Western world holds to be good about itself.
