The famed philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche delivers a scathing critique of Christianity in this infamous little tome, wherein he expounds upon his idea that Christian morality, far from improving the moralistic and ethical weltanschauuang of Western man, has actually conspired to strangle it beneath an incense-reeking floodtide of ennui, weakness, and exultation of the "lowly and botched" at the expense of the strong. Nietzsche, a proponent of the warrior virtues of man, a teacher of the philosophy of "Darwinian struggle, " which sees the world in terms of Predator and Prey--was an erudite thinker and wordsmith the likes of which has rarely been equaled in all of history. Love or despise this book, as you read it, you will not soon forget its every subtle, severe proclamation.
