NY: Chartwell Books, Inc., 2009. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. He has been called a brilliant thinker, strikingly original, subversive, evil, creative, brazen, intellectually passionate, challenging, and the Anti-Christ ("God is a crude answer, a piece of indelicacy against us thinkers"). Reading German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) , can be a life-changing experience. He rejected Christianity as well as the morality of his time, embracing instead the belief that we are able to create our own values. The ideal man, in his view, was the "Ubermensch," or superman, characterized by strong, creative, positive qualities, and able to impose his will upon the weak and worthless. Written in 1888 but not published until 1908, Why I Am So Wise is Nietzsches singular autobiography, which sets out the story of his life in bizarre and provocative fashion yet remains key to an understanding of work. Why I Am So Wise is Nietzsches last great work. In January 1889, he began his descent into madness when he is said to have been found in tears in a Turin street, with his arms around a horse that had been beaten by its master. This hardcover collectors edition is beautifully illustrated, and the text is an essential one which still influences modern thinking. 7.20 X 5.10 X 0.60 inches, 128 pages
NY: Harper Perennial, 2011. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Paperback. Near Fine. Near fineFew people have failed at love as spectacularly as the great philosophers. Although we admire their wisdom, history is littered with the romantic failures of the most sensible men and women of every age, including: Friedrich Nietzsche: "Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent." (Rejected by everyone he proposed to, even when he kept asking and asking. ) Jean-Paul Sartre: "There are of course ugly women, but I prefer those who are pretty." (Adopted his mistress as his daughter. ) Louis Althusser: "The trouble is there are bodies and, worse still, sexual organs." (Accidentally strangled his wife to death. ) And dozens of other great thinkers whose words we revere--but whose romantic decisions we should avoid at all costs.
