The Antichrist (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781779450067)

The Antichrist is a classic German philosophy book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895.

Although the work was written in 1888, its content made Franz Overbeck and Heinrich Köselitz delay its publication, along with Ecce Homo. The German title can be translated into English as either The Anti-Christ or The Anti-Christian, depending on how the German word christ is translated.

Christianity, as a religion of peace, is despised by Nietzsche. According to Nietzsche's account, pity has a depressive effect, loss of vitality and strength, and is harmful to life. It also preserves that which should naturally be destroyed.
