What Nietzsche Really Said

Robert C. Solomon,Kathleen M. Higgins

What Nietzsche Really Said gives us a lucid overview – both informative and entertaining – of perhaps the most widely read and least understood philosopher in history.

Friedrich Nietzsche’s aggressive independence, flamboyance, sarcasm, and celebration of strength have struck responsive chords in contemporary culture. More people than ever are reading and discussing his writings. But Nietzsche’s ideas are often overshadowed by the myths and rumors that surround his sex life, his politics, and his sanity. In this lively and comprehensive analysis, Nietzsche scholars Robert C. Solomon and Kathleen M. Higgins get to the heart of Nietzsche’s philosophy, from his ideas on the will to power to his attack on religion and morality and his infamous UEbermensch (superman).

What Nietzsche Really Said offers both guidelines and insights for reading and understanding this controversial thinker. Written with sophistication and wit, this book provides an excellent summary of the life and work of one of history’s most provocative philosophers.
