«Der Antichrist» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Nikol Verlagsges.mbH in hardcover (142 pages, in German).
Nietzsche subjects Christianity to a radical critique: he presents it as a religion that has inverted natural values and imposed a morality of weakness and resentment. He examines the history of Christianity and its influence on modern society, and proposes an alternative morality based on the affirmation of life and the will to power.
Work written in 1888 and originally published in 1895; the original title was «Der Antichrist: Fluch auf das Christentum». This edition by Nikol Verlagsges.mbH dates from 2008.
Aimed at readers interested in philosophy, criticism of religion, and the polemical texts of nineteenth-century German thought.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
