Twilight of the Idols by Friedrich Nietzsche (English) Paperback Book

Description: Twilight of the Idols by Friedrich Nietzsche, Duncan Large Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Twilight of the Idols. Nietzsches own unabashed appraisal of the last work intended to serve as a short introduction to the whole of his philosophy, and the most synoptic of all his books, bristles with a register of vocabulary derived from physiology, pathology, symptomatalogy and medicine. Publisher Description `Anyone who wants to gain a quick idea of how before me everything was topsy-turvy should make a start with this work. That which is called idol on the title-page is quite simply that which was called truth hitherto. Twilight of the Idols - in plain words: the old truth is coming to an end... Nietzsche intended Twilight of the Idols to serve as a short introduction to his philosophy, and as a result it is the most synopticof all his books. Continuing in the spirit of its immediate predecessors On The Genealogy of Morals and The Wagner Case, it is a masterpiece of polemic, targeting not only `eternal idols like Socratic rationality andChristian morality but also their contemporary counterparts, as Nietzsche the `untimely man goes roaming in the gloaming of nineteenth-century European culture. He allies philosophy with psychology and physiology, relentlessly diagnozing the symptoms of decadence, and his stylistic virtuosity is such that the sheer delight he takes in his demonic mischief-making communicates itself on every page. A brilliant new translation, this edition provides detailed commentary on a highly condensedand allusive work.
