A little about the book

Twilight of the Idols puts received philosophical ideas under pressure in short, pointed sections. The Antichrist turns that polemical method on Christianity and its account of virtue.

The two works make different demands despite their shared edition. Use the compact chapters of Twilight as a point of entry, then follow the longer sequence of claims in The Antichrist.

Is it for you?
