1882Best.-Nr. 8129Chemnitz: Verlag von Ernst Schmeitzner 1882. First edition. Very Good. A Very Good copy of a scarce work. Octavo. Modern red morocco-backed marbled boards leaves measuring 220 x 137 mm. Twin black morocco spine labels lettered in gilt. 255 pp. leaf size 220 x 137 mm. Circular ownership stamps of Austrian bibliophile Dr. Moriz Grolig to verso of title-page original upper free endpaper and blank verso of final text leaf. Some toning to title-page and first and last few leaves otherwise quite clean throughout. Better known as "The Gay Science" in English Die fröhliche Wissenschaft is Nietzsche's key work on the relationship between art and science. Famously the book includes Nietzsche's first use of the "God is dead" "Gott is todt" metaphor p. 137. Against what Nietzsche saw as the pedestrian fact-gathering of contemporary scholarship his "Gay Science" advocates a deliberately lighthearted approach to the study of human experience. The work anticipates many aspects of the following year's Also sprach Zarathustra Thus Spoke Zarathustra not least the concept of eternal recurrence.

Brand new. 210 pp. Translated with an introduction and commentary by R.J. Hollingdale introduction by Michael Tanner. "'One must be superior to mankind in force in loftiness of soul - in contempt' In these two devastating works Nietzsche offers a sustained and often vitriolic attack on the morality and the beliefs of his time in particular those of Hegel Kant and Schopenhaur. Twilight of the Idols is a 'grand declaration of war' on reason psychology and theology that combines highly charged personal attacks on his contemporaries with a lightning tour of his own philosophy. It also paves the way for The Anti-Christ Nietzche's final assault on institutional Christianity in which he identifies himself with the 'Dionysian' artist and confronts Christ; the only opponent he feels worthy of him. In his introduction Michael Tanner discusses the themes of Nietzche's argument and places the works in their historical and philosophical context. Penguin Books paperback books

2003Best.-Nr. 2346464New York: Penguin Books 2003. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Fine. 7x5x0. Reprint. Brand new from publisher. 2003 Trade Paperback. 343 pp. Friedrich Nietzsche's most accessible and influential philosophical work misquoted misrepresented brilliantly original and enormously influential. Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western philosophy and Thus Spoke Zarathustra remains his most famous and influential work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman the human embodiment of divinity is his successor. Nietzsche's utterance 'God is dead' his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms and his doctrine of the Superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognisably twisted by among others Nazi intellectuals. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission to authority but in an all-powerful life force: passionate chaotic and free.

Brand new from publisher. 299 pp. Translated by Shaun Whiteside introduction by Michael Tanner. The first book by the author of the classic philosophical text Beyond Good and Evil. The youthful faults of this work were exposed by the author himself in the brilliant Attempt at a Self-Criticism which he added to the new edition of 1886. But the book whatever its excesses remains one of the most relevant statements on tragedy ever penned. It exploded the conception of Greek culture that was prevalent down through the Victorian era and it analyzed themes developed in the twentieth century by classicists existentialists psychoanalysts and others.

Binding tight and square text clean bright and unmarked. 1959 Hard Cover. 156 pp. With correspondence to Nietzsche's inner circle - including several titillating letters to his sister - Nietzsche's Unpublished Letters gives readers a never-before-seen look into the philosopher's daily life. Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and a founder of the Existentialist school of thought. He is famous for his controversial philosophies challenging Christianity religion and morality. Nietzsche was born in a small Prussian village in 1844 to a large Lutheran family and his early childhood was largely marked by the deaths of his father and brother. Nietzsche attended the University of Bonn to study philology where he discovered the philosophies of Arthur Schopenhauer and Immanuel Kant. He also formed a close friendship with Wilhelm Wagner and with the help of Wagner Nietzsche secured a position teaching philology at the University of Basel when he was only 24. This friendship abruptly ended in 1878 with Nietzsche's book Human All-too-Human. Shortly after his health began deteriorating and he struck up a nomadic stateless existence during which he wrote his most enduring works including The Gay Science and Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In 1889 Nietzsche suffered a mental breakdown and his sister Elisabeth cared for him until his death in 1900. Philosophical Library hardcover books

Minor smudge on fore edge otherwise an excellent copy. 2007 Trade Paperback. xii 179 pp. An analysis of Nietzsche's moral philosophy by the Professor of Social and Political Philosophy at the University of Southampton. Combining philosophical acuity psychological insight and a remarkably powerful prose style Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morality remains an incisive attack on European morality. David Owen provides a detailed analysis of the Genealogy situating it in the context of the development of Nietzsche's philosophy as a whole as well as providing a lucid account of Nietzsche's reasons for adopting a genealogical investigation of moral values. Highlighting the key features of Nietzsche's critique of morality and his call for a re-evaluation of values Owen shows how the arguments and rhetoric of the Genealogy combine to undermine our modern understanding of moral agency.

Scarpitti introduction and notes by Robert C. Holub. For the first time in Penguin Classics: Nietzsche's accessible exploration of key ideas in his landmark Beyond Good and Evil - in a lucid new translation.
