This convenient new compendium contains the five most philosophically significant of Nietzsches post-Thus Spoke Zarathustra writings. Nietzsche wrote of these works that he intended them as fish hooks for catching readers who shared his sense that a cataclysmic shift in human psychology had suddenly occurred with the advent of nihilism the uncanny and pervasive feeling that life is devoid of all meaning, purpose, and value. Taken together these books offer the reader a definitive account of Nietzsches mature philosophy as he intended it to be presented and a sweeping attack upon everything the modern Western world holds to be good about itself.
