Black Classics: Twilight of Idols and Anti-christ

Reveals an understanding of human mean-spiritedness. In these two devastating late works, Nietzsche offers a powerful attack on the morality and the beliefs of his time Nietzsches Twilight of the Idols is a grand declaration of war on reason, psychology and theology, which combines highly charged personal attacks on his contemporaries (in particular Hegel, Kant and Schopenhauer) with a lightning tour of his own philosophy. It also paves the way for The Anti-Christ, Nietzsches final assault on institutional Christianity, in which he identifies himself with the Dionysian artist and confronts Christ: the only opponent he feels worthy of him.
