Götzendämmerung
'Götzendämmerung' Summary
Nietzsche's *Götzendämmerung* (Twilight of the Idols), a collection of essays published in 1889, is a profound critique of traditional Western morality, religion, and philosophy. Nietzsche argues that these institutions are based on flawed and ultimately harmful ideas. He challenges the very foundations of Western thought, particularly the concept of God and the value system that has arisen from it, He proposes a new morality that is not based on religious or societal dictates, but rather on the affirmation of life and the pursuit of individual self-realization. Nietzsche's bold and provocative writing style in this work has made it influential and controversial, stimulating debate and further philosophical exploration.Book Details
