Nichts ist wahr, alles ist erlaubt

The earthquake of the era and since Luther the greatest genius of the German language. Gottfried Benn on Friedrich Nietzsche. Although Friedrich Nietzsche did not leave behind a unified philosophical system, his influence on the history of ideas cannot be overstated. Many of his central thoughts and concepts have become guiding ideas of modernity and have been further developed by legions of artists and intellectuals. Those who wish to familiarize themselves with Nietzsche's radical interpretation of Enlightenment will find here the most important and concise passages from his complete works and discover how much fun it can be to philosophize with a hammer. The volume includes selected aphorisms and essays from Beyond Good and Evil, Ecce Homo, Dawn, and other writings.
