The most powerful and comprehensive overview of the philosophy of famous German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche ever published in the English language. Written with the aim of putting Nietzsche's sometimes complex ideas into an understandable format, this work remains the best introduction to, and explanation of, the philosophic world of one of Germany's most famous philosophers.

Part biographical, this book delves into Nietzsche's background, providing clues as to the development of the major influences upon his life. Then it moves swiftly on to a subject-based study of the major points of Nietzsche's philosophy, using selected quotes from his major works to back up the interpretations.

Finally, the last section provides an overview of Nietzsche's meaning in the world of philosophy, and includes a final section on how to study the subject further. However, there is no need, as once Mencken's book has been studied, the reader will be in possession of a complete understanding and appreciation of Nietzsche's writings.

This new edition also contains a comprehensive index.
