What is The Twilight of the Idols and the Anti-Christ: or How to Philosophize with a Hammer (Penguin Classics) about?

<p>in 1888, The Last Sane Year Of His Life Nietsche Produced These Two Brief But Devastating Books. <p><i>twilight Of The Idols,</i> 'a Grand Declaration Of War' On All The Prevalent Ideas Of His Time, Offers A Lightning Tour Of His Whole Philosophy. It Also Prepares The Way For <i>the Anti-christ</i>, A Final Assault On Institutional Christianity. Yet Although Nietzsche Makes A Compelling Case For The 'dionysian' Artist And Celebrates Magnificently Two Of His Great Heroes, Goethe And Cesare Borgia, He Also Gives A Moving, Almost Ecstatic Portrait Of His Only Worthy Opponent: Christ. Both Works Show Nietsche Lashing Out At Self-deception, Astounded At How Often Morality Is Based On Vengefulness And Resentment. Both Combine Utterly Unfair Attacks On Individuals With Amazingly Acute Surveys Of The Whole Contemporary Cultural Scene. Both Reveal A Profound Understanding Of Human Mean-spiritedness Which Still Cannot Destroy The Underlying Optimism Of Nietzsche, The Supreme Affirmer Among The Great Philosophers.</p>
