Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Beyond Good and Evil Friedrich NIETZSCHE (1844 - 1900), translated by Helen ZIMMERN (1846 - 1934) First published in 1886 at Nietzsche's own expense, the book was not initially considered important. In it, Nietzsche denounced what he considered to be the moral vacuity of 19th century thinkers. He attacked philosophers for what he considered to be their lack of critical sense and their blind acceptance of Christian premises in their considerations of morality and values. Beyond Good and Evil is a comprehensive overview of Nietzsche's mature philosophy.

The Anti-Christ FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE (1844 - 1900), translated by H. L. MENCKEN (1880 - 1956) Save for his raucous, rhapsodical autobiography, Ecce Homo, The Antichrist is the last thing that Nietzsche ever wrote, and so it may be accepted as a statement of some of his most salient ideas in their final form. Of all Nietzsche's books, The Antichrist comes nearest to conventionality in form. It presents a connected argument with very few interludes, and has a beginning, a middle and an end. The reason to listen to this version is that H. L. Mencken, the famous journalist, turned Nietzsche's German into such direct, plain-spoken American English that it puts the haranguing philosopher right up in your face.

Als Zarathustra dreissig Jahr alt war, verliess er seine Heimat und den See seiner Heimat und ging in das Gebirge. Hier genoss er seines Geistes und seiner Einsamkeit und wurde dessen zehn Jahr nicht m de. Endlich aber verwandelte sich sein Herz, - und eines Morgens stand er mit der Morgenr the auf, trat vor die Sonne hin und sprach zu ihr also: "Du grosses Gestirn Was w re dein Gl ck, wenn du nicht Die h ttest, welchen du leuchtest Zehn Jahre kamst du hier herauf zu meiner H hle: du w rdest deines Lichtes und dieses Weges satt geworden sein, ohne mich, meinen Adler und meine Schlange.
