SELECTED AND TRANSLATED BY R. J. HOLLINGDALE
A selection from Nietzsche's major philosophical works designed to give an overview of his thought.
The literary career of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) spanned less than twenty years but covered a vast range of subjects. In this selection, conveniently structured by topic, R. J. Hollingdale presents the breadth and depth of Nietzsche's thought. Whether he is addressing conventional Western philosophical problems or breaking new ground, Nietzsche is always thought-provoking and often startling. We see a mind grappling with the fundamental issues of human existence, striving to extend the boundaries of thought and concluding that in the face of so much that is inexplicable there is no scientific or moral truth. Nietzsche's approach and ideas are as relevant today as they ever were.
