«El anticristo» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Edimat Libros in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Nietzsche criticizes Christianity and traditional morality, accusing them of inverting natural values by promoting weakness and submission. The essay traces the history of Christian morality and denounces ecclesiastical institutions for distorting Jesus's message, with an incisive, aphoristic style that seeks to challenge the reader.
El anticristo, written in 1888, was not published until 1895. This edition is number 42 of the Clásicos de la literatura universal collection by Edimat Libros.
For readers of philosophy and criticism of religion, particularly those interested in Nietzsche's 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.
