Books by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher, classicist, and cultural critic whose influence on twentieth-century thought was enormous despite his relatively short productive life. He held a professorship in classical philology at the University of Basel from 1869 until his mental and physical collapse in 1889. His major works include The Birth of Tragedy, Human, All Too Human, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, and On the Genealogy of Morality. Twilight of the Idols was one of several works written in his final productive year of 1888.
