«El Anticristo» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, published by CreateSpace in paperback (82 pages, in Spanish).
El Anticristo presents Friedrich Nietzsche's critique of Christianity and traditional morality, which he considers an inversion of natural values. Against that morality of weakness and resentment, the author defends an affirmative ethics of life and individual power, and analyzes the weight of religion in Western culture.
The original title is Der Antichrist: Fluch auf das Christentum; its subtitle, «Maldición sobre el cristianismo», was suppressed by Elisabeth Forster-Nietzsche.
It is a work suitable for students and readers of philosophy, especially for those approaching Nietzsche's late thought and the critique of religion.
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.
