These two works, \u003ci\u003eTwilight of the Idols\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Antichrist\u003c\/i\u003e, crowned the radical philosopher's career of writing books that are decidedly not for everyone. Written in 1888, while Nietzsche was at the height of his brilliance -- but shortly before the onset of the insanity that gripped him until his death in 1900 -- they blaze with provocative, inflammatory rhetoric.\u003cbr\u003eNietzsche's \"grand declaration of war,\" \u003ci\u003eTwilight of the Idols\u003c\/i\u003e examines what we worship and why. Intended by the author as a general introduction to his philosophy, it assails \"idols\" of Western philosophy and culture (Socratic rationality and Christian morality among them) and sets the scene for \u003ci\u003eThe Antichrist\u003c\/i\u003e. In addition to its full-scale attack on Christianity and Jesus Christ, \u003ci\u003eThe Antichrist\u003c\/i\u003e denounces organized religion as a whole. H. L. Mencken declared that \"it is, to many sensitive men, in the worst possible taste, but at bottom it is enormously apt and effective -- on the surface, it is undoubtedly a good show.\" Students of philosophy, history, and German literature will find these works essential to an understanding of Nietzschean philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.42 x 5.24 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 02, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47578405437661,"sku":"9780486434605","price":9.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/oIyFQYv-pX9780486434605.webp?v=1773503297","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/twilight-of-the-idols-and-the-antichrist-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
