Nietzsche

Literature & Philosophy1844 – 1900

Thus Spoke Zarathustra

The philosopher with a hammer. He announced the death of God, diagnosed European nihilism, and demanded a revaluation of all values — all in prose of such literary brilliance that he remains as much a stylist as a thinker. The most dangerous and most liberating philosopher of the modern age.
