The Will to Freedom: Or The Gospel of Nietzsche and the Gospel of Christ is a book written by John Neville Figgis and first published in 1917. The book is a comparative study of the philosophical and religious ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche and Jesus Christ. Figgis explores the similarities and differences between the two figures, examining their views on morality, ethics, and the human condition. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Nietzsche and the second part on Christ. Figgis argues that both Nietzsche and Christ were concerned with the liberation of the individual from oppressive social and cultural norms. However, while Nietzsche believed in the power of the individual will to overcome these norms, Christ emphasized the importance of love and compassion. Figgis also examines the influence of Nietzsche's ideas on modern philosophy and culture, and discusses the ways in which Nietzsche's philosophy has been misunderstood and misinterpreted. He argues that Nietzsche's philosophy should be understood in the context of his own life and experiences, rather than as a set of abstract ideas. Overall, The Will to Freedom offers a thought-provoking exploration of two influential figures in the history of philosophy and religion, and their contrasting visions of human freedom and liberation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
