After kicking open the doors to twentieth-century philosophy in Thus Spake Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche refined his ideal of the superman with the 1886 publication of Beyond Good and Evil. Conventional morality is a sign of slavery, Nietzsche maintains, and the superman goes beyond good and evil in action, thought, and creation. Nietzsche especially targets what he calls a "slave morality" that fosters herd like quiescence and stigmatizes the...

First released in 1901, about one year after Nietzsche's death, "The Will to Power" is a collection of Nietzsche's unedited and unpublished writings. Though the title and all of the ideas are of the radical philosopher's own invention, the order and selection of Nietzsche's notebooks are due to the organization of his sister. As a result of his poor health, Nietzsche used his remaining energy to write a different work, leaving "The Will to Power"...

Forceful in his language and profound in his message, the philosopher delivered the nineteenth century's most devastating attack on Christianity. Intended by Nietzsche as a general introduction to his philosophy, it assails the "idols" of Western philosophy and culture, including the concepts of Socratic rationality and Christian...

"Es cierto que la ciencia ha sido impulsada con una rapidez impresionante durante las últimas décadas, pero contemplad a los eruditos, contemplad a esas gallinas exhaustas. Estos eruditos distan mucho de ser naturalezas 'armónicas', sólo saben cacarear más que nunca, porque ponen huevos con mayor frecuencia: sin embargo, los huevos se han vuelto cada vez más pequeños (aunque los libros sean cada vez más voluminosos)."

My thoughts concerning the genealogy of our moral prejudices, for they constitute the issue in this polemic, have their first, bald, and provisional expression in that collection of aphorisms entitled Human, all-too-Human, a Book for Free Minds, the writing of which, was begun in Sorrento, during a winter, which allowed me to gaze over the broad and dangerous territory through, which my mind had up to that time wandered.
