Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist

De: Friedrich Nietzsche

Narrado por: Barnaby Edwards

The last works completed before Nietzsche's final years of insanity, Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist contain some of his most passionate and polemical writing. Both display his profound understanding of human nature and continue themes developed in The Genealogy of Morals, as the philosopher lashes out at the deceptiveness of modern culture and morality. Twilight of the Idols attacks European society, Christianity, and the works of Socrates and Plato, which he proclaims are life-denying as they prioritize reason over instinct and the after-world over the apparent world. The Antichrist explores the history, psychology, and moral precepts of Christianity, forming his final assault on organized religion.

Ingenious perspectives delivered with verve and humor

Nietzsche’s revolutionary insights are rendered in his legendary and magnificent style. The pairing of the narrator with this selection of the great thinker’s powerful critiques is a master stroke. His ideas are brought into bold relief here. I’ve listened to this audiobook several times. Naxos is a fine publisher of audiobooks.

Missing chapters

The book is good but the AntiChrist has only the prologue which is the whole book that should have been broken down into chapters.

Constantm British Sarcasm

Nietzsche is frequently sarcastic, but this British actor makes it an impossible task to determine if the author is meant to be sarcastic. The text is lost

A misguided fool

If you firmly believe women are less than house cats, this is the book for you! There are so many points that could be used to highlight the stupidity in his message, but the easiest is that he believed public bathhouses to be the pinnacle of humanity and that women are worthless. And no amount of eloquent words would fool me into buying his message. (Even him saying that if you don't agree, then you are ignorant)

He has a few good points, but in the words of my grandfather, "Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn every once in a while."

I now feel I need to print a retraction for every paper I ever wrote with a quote from him in it.
