Publisher Description

With Friedrich Nietzsche, philosophy was dangerous not only for philosophers but for everyone. Nietzsche ultimately went 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. The book also includes selections from Nietzsche's work, a brief list of suggested readings for those who wish to delve deeper, and chronologies that place Nietzsche within his own age and in the broader scheme of philosophy.

"Good work, it is funny and succinct. There is an interesting summary of Nietzsche's life with an interesting foray into the issue of the Nazism misinterpretation of the 20thC"

" It delivers on the promise. Not a bad introduction, but nothing special "

Overall Performance:
" Interesting book on the philosopher who declared 'God is dead', 'will to power' and 'superman'. "

" Man this guy's a crappy writer! (Strathern, not Nietzsche) "
— Jess, 2/6/2013
Overall Performance:
" Took the audio book on a run with me, because as nice as exercise is, I often still find myself considering it wasteful....picked up some good trivia on Nietzsche's life, but all in all found this too brusque to be constructive. I might also mention some obvious bias I picked up on. XD "
— Tine!, 9/21/2012
Overall Performance:
" I only got to page 13 and already realized the author was far too opinionated and biased. "

Overall Performance:
" My favorite philosopher. "
— Danielle, 4/8/2012
Overall Performance:
" Entertaining and cute- quite a short intro. I can't say I learned a ton, but it was a fun biographical sketch all the same. "
— *heartrl*, 11/19/2011
Overall Performance:
" This isn't really a summary or review of Nietzsche's works or philosophy. It's much more a very brief bio with a few extra pages for a timeline. "

" Interesting book on the philosopher who declared 'God is dead', 'will to power' and 'superman'. "

Overall Performance:
" WILL TO POWER loner, become mentally ill from syphilis Contains a biography which was interesting, and some quotes and lines from his work along with a philosophy time-line. Does fit him into the overall body of philosophy. "
