Accessible Nietzsche's philosophy and turbulent life.

If you've ever felt curious about Nietzsche's notorious proclamation that 'God is Dead' or the concept of the 'Superman', then "Nietzsche For Beginners" could offer you some clarity. Marc Sautet unpacks the philosopher's complex ideas in a way that's engaging and digestible, without losing the provocative spark that ignited so much debate. It's especially pertinent if you're interested in how historical interpretations can twist a philosopher's original meaning, illustrated by how the Nazis co-opted Nietzsche's work. A perfect primer for diving into one of philosophy's most challenging minds.

Description

Not only does Nietzsche for Beginners delve into the scandalous life and considerable works of Friedrich Nietzsche, it also gives a clear picture of the puzzling time in which he lived. We meet the luminaries of the day - Richard Wagner, Bismarck, Freud, and Darwin - and see their influences on his work. We also receive introductions to some of the great minds that preceded and shaped his writing: Luther, Schopenhauer, Hegel, and Kant. Sautet clarifies the individual philosophers and their contributions, making the book an important introduction to philosophy. Nietzsche's famous ménage à trois, his theories of Superman, the Antichrist, nihilism, and Zarathustra, as well as his posthumous and misinformed use by the Nazis, make for a fascinating read.
