«El Anticristo» is Friedrich Nietzsche's essay on religious criticism, published by Alianza in paperback (171 pages, in Spanish).
In this work Nietzsche attacks Christianity and traditional morality, which he considers a denial of life and of the individual's self-affirmation. The essay formulates a radical critique of Western culture and calls for an inversion of inherited values, in line with his project of the revaluation of all values.
It belongs to Alianza's Biblioteca Nietzsche collection, with a translation by Andrés Sánchez Pascual. 1973 edition.
For humanities students and readers interested in philosophy and in 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.
