4.0 out of 5 stars The 'Thinker' Behind Nihilsm, May 21, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Nietzsche's Genealogy: Nihilism and the Will to Knowledge (Hardcover)
Fredrich Nietzsche challenged all ideas that had not only come before him, but also those which proliferated during his own period. He "deconstructed" society and its "noble lies" in an attempt to show us that man "is something to be overcome." In this book, he attempted to debase all of society by proving that values and ethics are errors of humanity.

From this work by Nietzsche we can begin to understand "will to power" and the nihilism which, as Nietzsche believes, powers society.

This is an excellent book for anyone trying to understand what "nihilism" and the "will to knowledge and power" are. There is no philosopher who can explain this better than Nietzsche, nor is there a book that explains this better than "Nietzsche's Genealogy: Nihilism and the Will to Knowledge."
