Synopsis "Nietzsche: 100 Aphorisms from Six Books"

The philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche turned the generally accepted values of modern, Western society upside down--religious, spiritual, moral, ethical, and Christian presumptions were all questioned, tested, and cast aside as, ultimately, useless to man and his ascension to a higher purpose: a more self-actualized awareness of the universe, and the meaning of his birth and ultimate demise. Thi small, easily intellectually digestible volume will serve as a starting point for the sincere scholar, who may seek out the "road less traveled" by diving into the mental and spiritual depths of a man long considered to be one of the most influential intellects of the ages. About the author--Friedrich Nietzsche was born on October 14th, near Leipzig, Germany. He ascended the ranks of academia early, becoming a professor at the age of twenty-four, with a keen interest in philosophy, as well as philology. His friendship with composer Richard Wagner ended in 1876, with Nietzsche writing a scathing critique of the composer and his spiritual influence. In short order, a succession of major philosophic works followed, including, "The Birth of Tragedy," "Thus Spake Zarathustra," "Twilight of the Idols," and "Human, All Too Human. " He died in an asylum in 1900. He was 55 years old.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844-Weimar, August 25, 1900) was a German philosopher, poet, musician, and philologist, whose work has had a profound influence on contemporary global thought and Western culture.
Nietzsche wrote on topics as diverse as art, philology, music, history, religion, science, and tragedy. He critiqued culture, religion, and Western philosophy through the genealogy of the concepts that integrate them, based on the analysis of moral attitudes (positive and negative) towards life.
It is particularly notable the influence exerted on Nietzsche by the also German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, whom he considered his teacher, although he did not follow Schopenhauer's ideas dogmatically, and in many aspects, he diverged from his thought, even making a radical critique of his philosophical ideas.
