<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The largest collection of Nietzsche's published poetry, this volume also offers an extensive, sophisticated treatment of his core philosophical themes and views as well as his most influential ideas.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Although dour in appearance and formidable in reputation, Friedrich Nietzsche was an ardent practitioner of the art of poetry--known in twelfth-century Provençal as "the gay science." This extensive collection of prose and verse offers a sophisticated treatment of the philosophical themes and views central to his thinking, as well as the ideas that proved most influential to later philosophers. <br> Dating from the era when Nietzsche was at the peak of his intellectual powers, most of this book was written just before <i>Thus Spoke Zarathustra, </i> and the rest of it five years later, after <i>Beyond Good and Evil.</i> Zarathustra makes his first appearance in these pages, along with the author's well-known proclamation of the death of God. Readers will find this volume a wellspring for some of Nietzsche's most sustained and thought-provoking discussions of art and morality, knowledge and truth, the intellectual conscience, and the origin of logic, as well as the largest collection of Nietzsche's published poetry.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) ranks among the most influential of modern thinkers. His explorations of the motives underlying Western philosophy, religion, and morality have exercised a profound effect on generations of writers, theologians, philosophers, and psychologists. Although Nietzsche was strongly opposed to nationalism and anti-Semitism, his works were appropriated by Fascists to support the very concepts he deplored.
