The Antichrist
COP $ 14.900

The Antichrist is a book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895. Although it was written in 1888, its controversial content made Franz Overbeck and Heinrich Köselitz delay its publication, along with Ecce Homo. The German title can be translated into English as both "The Anti-Christ" and "The Anti-Christian". Nietzsche claimed in the Foreword to have written the book for a very limited readership. In order to understand the book, he asserted that the reader "... must be honest in intellectual matters to the point of hardness to so much as endure my seriousness, my passion." The reader should be above politics and nationalism. Also, the usefulness or harmfulness of truth should not be a concern. Characteristics such as "Strength which prefers questions for which no one today is sufficiently daring; courage for the forbidden" are also needed. He disdained all other readers.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Autor

Nace en Röcken (Alemania) en 1844, como hijo de un pastor protestante, y realiza sus primeros estudios en la escuela de Pforta. Entre 1864 y 1865 estudia teología y filología clásica en Bonn, luego en Leipzig, donde empieza a ocuparse con la obra de Arthur Schopenhauer. El año 1868 marca el inicio de su amistad con Richard Wagner, que será determinante en sus primeros escritos. Un año después es nombrado catedrático de Filología griega en la Universidad de Basilea. La publicación en 1872 de El nacimiento de la tragedia supone su distanciamiento del mundo académico. Sus padecimientos crónicos de cabeza y vista acaban por decidir su definitiva consagración a la filosofía y el inicio de sus años errantes como libre pensador y escritor. En apenas una década, desde Humano, demasiado humano (1878-1880) hasta Ecce homo y El anticristo (ambos de 1888), da a un público acaso todavía por venir gran parte de su obra. Después de su derrumbe psíquico en 1889, vivirá aún hasta 1900, al cuidado de su madre y luego de su hermana, sumido en la locura.
