Showing results for "Friedrich Nietzsche" in World

The Gay Science (The Joyful Wisdom) is one of Nietzsche's greatest books. His wonderfully fertile mind roams over mankind, his thoughts, his emotions, his behaviour and his weaknesses with remarkable clarity, with insight - but also with humour!In this work are 383 separate paragraphs, some short, some long, but all singular observations - the epitome of his famous aphoristic style. 'Morality is the herd instinct in the individual.'

The Antichrist is a book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895. Although it was written in 1888, its controversial content caused its publication to be delayed. The German title can be translated into English as either The Anti-Christ or The Anti-Christian, depending on how the German word Christ is translated. Nietzsche claimed in the foreword to have written the book for a very limited readership. In order to understand the book, he asserted that the reader "...must be honest in intellectual matters to the point of hardness to so much as endure my seriousness, my passion."

The Problems of Philosophy discusses Bertrand Russell's views on philosophy and the problems that arise in the field.

Written over 100 years ago, The Antichrist by the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is a thought-provoking piece of literature in which Nietzsche urges the listener to be honest and critical in regards to previously accepted thoughts of modern Christianity. He suggests that the current basis for what is right and wrong, happiness and sadness, and other essential concepts is completely backward. Instead, every end result can be measured based on what Nietzsche calls the "will to power".

Nietzsche nació en 1844 en la casa parroquial de Röcken (Alemania). Su padre, sus abuelos y sus bisabuelos eran pastores protestantes. Su padre falleció cuando el pequeño Friedrich tenía cuatro años de edad. Era un niño ensimismado y de extrema rectitud de conciencia, al punto que sus amigos lo apodaban "Pequeño Pastor". Al ingresar a la escuela secundaria, estudió piano y comenzó a componer pequeñas obras musicales.

Lo que en el título se denomina ídolo es sencillamente lo que hasta ahora fue llamado verdad. El ocaso de los ídolos, dicho claramente: la vieja verdad se acerca a su final. Así escribió Nietzsche sobre este libro en Ecce Homo. Friedrich Nietzsche escribió El ocaso de los ídolos (también conocido como Crepúsculo de los ídolos) o cómo se filosofa con el martillo al comienzo del otoño de 1888, en la época que él considera la más fecunda de su vida.

The Antichrist is a book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895. The reference to the Antichrist is not intended to refer to the biblical Antichrist but is rather an attack on the slave morality and apathy of Western Christianity.
