"The Birth of Tragedy" stands alongside Aristotle’s "Poetics" as essential works for all who seek to understand poetry and its relationship to human life. In this, his first book, Nietzsche developed a way of thinking about the arts that unites the Greek gods Apollo and Dionysus as the central symbol of human existence. Although tragedy serves as the focus of this work, music, visual art, dance, and the other arts can also be viewed using Nietzsche’s analysis and integration of the Apollonian and the Dionysian.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a nineteenth-century German philosopher. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, using a distinctive German language style and displaying a fondness for aphorism. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism.

The essays contained in this volume treat of various subjects. With the exception of perhaps one we must consider all these papers as fragments. Written during the early Seventies, and intended mostly as prefaces, they are extremely interesting, since traces of Nietzsche's later tenets - like Slave and Master morality, the Superman - can be found everywhere. But they are also very valuable on account of the young philosopher's daring and able handling of difficult and abstruse subjects.

"Uno debe ser superior a la humanidad en fuerza, en altivez de alma y desprecio" En esta obra devastadora, Nietzsche ofrece un sostenido ataque, a menudo morda, contra la moralidad y las creencias de su tiempo, arremetiendo contra filósofos como Hegel, Kant y Schopenhaur. El ocaso de los ídolos es una "declaración de guerra" a la razón, la psicología y la teología; mediante el particular estilo filosófico de Nietzsche.

The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's autobiography, Ecce Homo, was the last prose work that he wrote before his illness in 1889. Coming at the end of an extraordinarily productive year in which he had produced The Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist, Nietzsche shuns any pretense at modesty with chapter titles include “Why I am so Wise”, “Why I am so Clever” and “Why I Write Such Excellent Books”. His translator Anthony M. Ludovici states, Ecce Homo “is not only a coping-stone worthy of the wonderful creations of that year, but also a fitting conclusion to his whole life, in...

In this extraordinary autobiography, Nietzsche chronicles his life and development as a philosopher, his tastes as an individual, and his vision for humanity.

Alle soglie della follia, Nietzsche sosterrà di aver fatto all'umanità, con lo "Zarathustra", il più grande dono che essa abbia mai avuto: "Questo libro, una voce che passa sui millenni, non solo è il libro più alto che esista [...], ma anche il più profondo, generato dalla più intrinseca ricchezza della verità, una fonte inesauribile dove non si può calare il secchio senza farlo risalire colmo d'oro e di bontà". Perciò Nietzsche gli assegnerà una posizione preminente fra tutti i libri.

Dieses ist nicht nur Nietzsches Lobpreis auf Arthur Schopenhauer und seine Philosophie, sondern eine schonungslose Abrechnung mit der Universitätsphilosophie seiner Zeit. Nur seiner Zeit? Sollte man nicht auch heutigen Universitäten diesen Text hinter den Spiegel stecken?

Es uno de los últimos libros del filósofo alemán Friedrich Nietzsche y está considerado como uno de los más agudos y desesperados retratos autobiográficos de la literatura moderna. En él, Nietzsche, casi al borde de la crisis que le llevará a ser internado en un hospital psiquiátrico, pretende realizar un último intento por dar a conocer su filosofía, presentándose a sí mismo como autor de las obras que, según él, cambiarían la historia del pensamiento y quizá el curso de la Historia misma.
