| Sumario: | Critically introduces and interprets one of Nietzsche's last - and most notorious - books, with extra resources for students and new readers Provides a thought-provoking, yet non-technical approach to philosophical and theological issuesAddresses the difficulties readers will have dealing with Nietzsche's excoriating rhetoric Recommends reading The Anti-Christ within the context of Nietzsche's work as a whole - and of related thinkers such as Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud and Ludwig Feuerbach Includes a chronology of Nietzsche's life and work, a glossary of key terms, an index of names and subjects and a guide to further reading Presupposing no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or the text, nor with Christian beliefs or doctrines, Paul Bishop carefully guides students through The Anti-Christ section by section. Bishop unpacks the difficulties that many readers face when dealing with Nietzsche's rhetoric. And he contextualises the text within the wider contexts of Nietzsche's thought as a whole and the broader currents of contemporary 19th and 20th century thought. The Anti-Christ is one of the most notorious, if not the most notorious, books by Nietzsche - and one of his most frequently misrepresented. The main cause for scandal has been its expression of a virulent anti-religious and specifically anti-Christian stance. Precisely this aspect makes a fresh understanding of this work timely, not to say urgent. |
