Nietzsche’s The Anti-Christ by Paul Bishop (Edinburgh Critical Guides to Nietzsche)
Requirements: .PDF reader, 3 mb
Overview: Presupposing no prior knowledge of Nietzsche or the text, nor with Christian beliefs or doctrines, Paul Bishop carefully guides students through The Anti-Christ section by section. Bishop unpacks the difficulties that many readers face when dealing with Nietzsche’s rhetoric. And he contextualises the text within the wider contexts of Nietzsche’s thought as a whole and the broader currents of contemporary 19th and 20th century thought.
The Anti-Christ is one of the most notorious, if not the most notorious, books by Nietzsche – and one of his most frequently misrepresented. The main cause for scandal has been its expression of a virulent anti-religious and specifically anti-Christian stance. Precisely this aspect makes a fresh understanding of this work timely, not to say urgent.
