The Anti-Christ - Paperback

by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (Author)

Here is Friedrich Nietzsche's great masterpiece The Anti-Christ wherein Nietzsche attacks Christianity as a blight on humanity. This classic is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand Nietzsche and his place within the history of philosophy."We should not deck out and embellish Christianity: it has waged a war to the death against this higher type of man it has put all the deepest instincts of this type under its ban it has developed its concept of evil of the Evil One himself out of these instincts-the strong man as the typical reprobate the 'outcast among men.' Christianity has taken the part of all the weak the low the botched; it has made an ideal out of antagonism to all the self-preservative instincts of sound life; it has corrupted even the faculties of those natures that are intellectually most vigorous by representing the highest intellectual values as sinful as misleading as full of temptation. The most lamentable example: the corruption of Pascal who believed that his intellect had been destroyed by original sin whereas it was actually destroyed by Christianity!" -Friedrich Nietzsche
