On Truth and Untruth: Selected Writings (The Resistance Library) - Softcover
A part of Harper Perennial's special "Resistance Library" highlighting classic works that illuminate the "Age of Trump" reissued for a time of "fake news" and "alternative facts" comes a striking reissue of Friedrich Nietzsche's classic collection of writings on truth, more relevant now than ever as we confront as a society the nature, and value, of truth.
"We continue to live within the intellectual shadow cast by Nietzsche."--New York Times Book Review
"Perhaps no one has yet been truthful enough about what 'truthfulness' is."-- from On Truth and Untruth
On Truth and Untruth charts Nietzsche's evolving thinking on truth, which has exerted a powerful influence over modern and contemporary thought. This original collection features the complete text of the celebrated early essay "On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense" ("a keystone in Nietzsche's thought"--Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy), as well as selections from the great philosopher's entire career, including key passages from The Gay Science, Beyond Good and Evil, On the Genealogy of Morals, The Will to Power, Twilight of the Idols, and The Antichrist.

About the Author:
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher and author. Born into a line of Protestant churchman, Nietzsche studied Classical literature and language before becoming a professor at the University of Basel in Switzerland. He became a philosopher after reading Schopenhauer, who suggested that God does not exist, and that life is filled with pain and suffering. Nietzsche's first work of prominence was The Birth of Tragedy in 1872, which contained new theories regarding the origins of classical Greek culture. From 1883 to 1885 Nietzsche composed his most famous work, Thus Spake Zarathustra, in which he famously proclaimed that "God is dead." He went on to release several more notable works including Beyond Good and Evil and The Genealogy of Morals, both of which dealt with the origins of moral values. Nietzsche suffered a nervous breakdown in 1889 and passed away in 1900, but not before giving us his most famous quote, "From life's school of war: what does not kill me makes me stronger."
