Publisher's Summary

With Friedrich Nietzsche, philosophy was dangerous not only for philosophers but for everyone. Nietzsche ended up going mad, but his ideas presaged a collective madness that had horrific consequences in Europe in the early 1900s. Though his philosophy is more one of aphorisms and insights than a system, it is brilliant, persuasive, and incisive. His major concept is the will to power, which he saw as the basic impulse for all our acts. Christianity he saw as a subtle perversion of this concept, thus Nietzsche's famous pronouncement, "God is dead."

In Nietzsche in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Nietzsche's life and ideas and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence in the world.

Very quick

90 minutes just gets you started on the subject but that should be what your looking for.

It's a biography, not a discussion of ideas.

Minimal discussion of his philosophy and ideas. It's just a 90 minute description of his life.

Seems the Author does not like or respect Nietzsch

The tone of the reading and words seems like cheap shots of Nietzsche. Snobbery at its best
