Nietzsche's late works are brilliant and uncompromising, and stand as monuments to his lucidity, rigor, and style. This volume combines, for the first time in English, five of these works: The Antichrist, Ecce Homo, Twilight of the Idols, Nietzsche contra Wagner, and The Case of Wagner. Nietzsche takes on some of his greatest adversaries in these works: traditional religio...more

I truly enjoyed Ecce Homo and in fact, I never truly understood what Nietzsche was trying to say until I read it. I think the message of 'How to become what you are' is what he was always grasping for.

An enjoyable translation of some of Nietzsche's later works. The Anti-Christ is always an eye-opener but in this reading I found the 'hammers' of philosophy hiding within the depths of 'Twilight of the Idols'.
If Nietzsche accomplished anything it was to hammer the minds of any reader that even allowed him in for one slick moment--and this thorough beating of the reader's ideals and thoughts is always pulled off with such poetic lyricism and powerful wit that you can't just help love the man beh...more

After a nearly 3-year journey, I've decided that this wasn't worth the struggle any long. AC was phenomenal once I got into it. EH was a real chore for me; I couldn't help but feel that Nietzsche was taking the piss at the expense of his reader and found very little redeeming in it. TI was going passably well. There were some absolutely brilliant insights yet I know I was missing 4 for every 1 I grokked.

Twilight of the Idols:
Ya gotta love Nietzsche, you really do; he is so unlike other philosophers. That said, Twilight was written four months before he totally went loony. Is this the rantings of a man consumed with syphiliis? Or is it the pinnacle of sound reasoning? Um, lol. Anyways, as usual, Nietzsche is worth a read.

Nietzsche's late period is captured in this book demonstrating some of his most mature views on Morality and the Christian Faith.
I always enjoy the fact that Nietzche can say in one paragraph what many other 'lessers' need an entire book to write. There's a reason he's still read, and I enjoy it all.
Never finished...
Hmph. I expected more rationale than blunt statements.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher of the late 19th century who challenged the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality. He was interested in the enhancement of individual and cultural health, and believed in life, creativity, power, and the realities of the world we live in, rather than those situated in a world beyond. Central to his philosophy is the idea of “life-...more
