The first English translation of Nietzsche

Ecce Homo is an autobiography like no other. Deliberately provocative, Nietzsche subverts the conventions of the genre and pushes his philosophical positions to combative extremes, constructing a genius-hero whose life is a chronicle of incessant self-overcoming. Written in 1888, a few weeks before his descent into madness, the book passes under review all of Nietzsche's previous works so that we, his "posthumous"readers, can finally understand him, on his own terms. He reaches final reckonings with his many enemies, including Richard Wagner, German nationalism, "modern men" in general, and above all Christianity, proclaiming himself the Antichrist. Ecce Homo is the summation of an extraordinary philosophical career, a last great testament to Nietzsche's will.

The Greeks knew better: Goodness for them was nobility, pride, and victory, not the Christian virtues of humility, meekness, poverty, and altruism.

Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the way we see ourselves--and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They have enriched lives--and destroyed them. Now, Penguin brings you the works of the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook civilization, and helped make us who we are. Penguin's Great Ideas series features twelve groundbreaking works by some of history's most prodigious thinkers, and each volume is beautifully packaged with a unique type-drive design that highlights the bookmaker's art. Offering great literature in great packages at great prices, this series is ideal for those readers who want to explore and savor the Great Ideas that have shaped the world. One of the most iconoclastic thinkers of all time, Friedrich Nietzsche continues to challenge the boundaries of conventional religion and morality with his subversive theories of the 'superman', the individual will, the death of God and the triumph of an all-powerful human life force.

Friedrich Nietzsche satte det allersidste punktum i værket "Antikrist" den 30. september 1888. På grund af Nietzsches sammenbrudi 1889 og værkets kontroversielle indhold udkom bogen dog først i 1895, og da i en noget retoucheret udgave. Nietzsche bedriver dog ikke religionskritik i samme forstand som Feuerbach, Marx og Freud gjorde. For ham er kristendommen ikke så meget et problem, fordi den er usand, men snarere fordi den er usund! Kristendommen lider af og hviler på sygelige instinkter: en unatur, der ikke vil livet og lysten, men døden, frelsen og lidelsen. Derfor er Nietzsche i "Antikrist - forbandelse over kristendommen" optaget af at vise, hvordan kristendommen opstod, hvilke morbide kræfter, der bragte den til verde og orkestrerer dens ideologi, magtregimi o.a. Nietzsche foretager i værket en dissektionsøvelse og en kritisk analyse af den allerede døde Gud og hans vældige organisation. Oversat af Peter Thielst.

Med sina fyra Otidsenliga betraktelser (1873-1876) fullföljer Friedrich Nietzsche det förräderi mot samtidens vetenskap och kultur han begick med förstlingsverket Tragedins födelse (1872). I dessa essäer mot strömmen formuleras en sträng, existentiell kritik av fabriksvetenskap och filiströs framgångsfilosofi. Tillsammans med flera efterlämnade texter från samma tid bildar de grundvalen för den kamp mot kulturen som småningom antar karaktären av ett attentat på två årtusendens onatur och människostympning. Essäerna uttrycker Nietzsches djupa misstro gentemot en kultur som inte vill se sanningen om sig själv i ögonen.

'One of the greatest books of a very great thinker' Michael TannerBeyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche's position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects traditional Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche seeks to demonstrate that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a 'slave morality'. With wit and energy, he turns from this critique to a philosophy that celebrates the present and demands that the individual impose their own 'will to power' upon the world. Translated by R. J. HOLLINGDALE With an Introduction by MICHAEL TANNER

For much of his adult life, Nietzsche wrote notes on philosophical subjects in small notebooks that he carried around with him. After his breakdown and subsequent death, his sister supervised the publication of some of these notes under the title The Will to Power, and that collection, which is textually inaccurate and substantively misleading, has dominated the English-speaking discussion of Nietzsche’s later thought. The present volume offers, for the first time, accurate translations of a selection of writings from Nietzsche’s late notebooks, dating from his last productive years between 1885 and 1889. Many of them have never before been published in English. They are translated by Kate Sturge from reliable texts in the Colli-Montinari edition, and they are edited by Rüdiger Bittner, whose introduction places them in the context of Nietzsche’s philosophy as a whole.

"Hinsides godt og ondt" er et af Nietzsches kendte værker, der markerer overgangen fra hans tidlige værker mod hans senere, mere radikale ideer. I værket afviser Nietzsche traditionelle begreber om moral og opstiller sin egen teori, der ser 'godt' og 'ondt' som menneskeskabte koncepter. Han argumenterer for, at disse konventionelle moralbegreber hæmmer den menneskelige udvikling, og at større individer er i stand til at overskride dem for at nå deres egen, unikke version af storhed. Nietzsche samler en række essays i bogen, der basalt set er en kritik af filosofi, religion, videnskab og kunst, og han foreslår, at menneskeheden skal transcenderes til "overmennesket". Denne ide om "overmennesket" bliver en central del af Nietzsches senere tænkning. Værket er smukt oversat af Niels Henningsen.

Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most scathing and powerful critiques of philosophy, religion, science, politics and ethics ever written. In it, Nietzsche presents a set of problems, criticisms and philosophical challenges that continue both to inspire and to trouble contemporary thought. In addition, he offers his most subtle, detailed and sophisticated account of the virtues, ideas, and practices which will characterize philosophy and philosophers of the future. With his relentlessly energetic style and tirelessly probing manner, Nietzsche embodies the type of thought he wants to foster, while defining its historical role and determining its agenda. This edition offers a new and readable translation, by Judith Norman, of one of the most influential texts in the history of philosophy, together with an introduction by Rolf-Peter Horstmann that sets it in its historical and philosophical context.
