Why must we believe that God is dead? Can we accept that traditional
morality is just a 'useful mistake'? Did the principle of 'the will to
power' lead to the Holocaust? What are the limitations of scientific
knowledge? Is human evolution complete or only beginning? It is
difficult to overestimate the importance of Friedrich Nietzsche for our
present epoch. His extraordinary insights into human psychology,
morality, religion and power seem quite clairvoyant today:
existentialism, psychoanalysis, semiotics and postmodernism are plainly
anticipated in his writings - which are famously enigmatic and often
contradictory. Introducing Nietzsche is the perfect guide to this
exhilarating and oft-misunderstood philosopher.
