The Antichrist

Uma profunda exploração do simbolismo e um repúdio ao Cristianismo.

The Antichrist was composed with an inflammatory style, with a feel of religious vehemence instead of classic philosophical arguments. In this work, Nietzsche was arguing against the systematic religions that he believed were interfering with the advancement of life, particularly knowledge and culture. The propositions of The Antichrist are seen to extend the arguments of Darwin’s Origin of Species, which promotes the idea that the foundational system upon which life progresses is survival for the fittest. Therefore, the book simply explains and applies the religious and philosophical perspectives of the natural laws of life. The Antichrist seethes with rhetoric, harsh criticism, and insults that can make readers shy away from the work. Indeed, as Nietzsche asserts, it is a book that “…belongs to the very few.”
