Twilight of the Idols | Friedrich Nietzsche

Twilight of the Idols or How to Philosophise with a Hammer is one of Nietzsche’s last books, written in 1888. As Nietzsche was starting to become recognised, he felt that he needed a short text that would serve as an introduction to his thought.

In a letter, he wrote: “This style is my philosophy in a nutshell – radically up to criminal…”

The book offers a lightning tour of his whole philosophy, preparing the way for The Anti-Christ, a final assault on institutional Christianity, which would be the first part of his Revaluation of All Values.

Which, unfortunately, he could not complete, due to his mental breakdown in 1889.
