Německý originál knihy byl poprvé publikován v Lipsku v roce 1886, a to vlastním nákladem autora. Kniha vyšla bezprostředně po Tak pravil Zarathustra, přičemž Nietzsche shromažďoval materiál již od začátku osmdesátých let, vycházeje z poznámek z doby před vydáním Radostné vědy. Nietzsche sám charakterizuje místo, které tato kniha zaujímá mezi jeho spisy, jako soubor myšlenek a formulací, které spadají do jeho minulosti, konkrétně do doby vzniku Zarathustra. Přestože kniha nechce být komentářem k Zarathustrovým řečem, funguje jako předběžný glosář, který uvádí klíčové pojmy a hodnoty této významné práce. V této době se Nietzscheho myšlení začíná soustředit na ústřední pojem jeho pozdní filosofie, vůli k moci, což se odráží v mnoha motivech obsažených i v pozůstalosti, kterou sestavila jeho sestra Elizabeth. Český překlad vyšel poprvé v roce 1996 a byl následně revidován v roce 1998. Současné vydání je oproti předchozím upraveno a doplněno o poznámky a vysvětlivky.

The author of "Social Security and Its Discontents" now maintains that the Bush administration, Congress, and large parts of the Republican Party and the conservative movement have abandoned traditional conservative ideals and embraced the idea of big government.

With his well-known idiosyncrasies and aphoristic style, Friedrich Nietzsche is always bracing and provocative, and temptingly easy to dip into. Michael Tanner's introduction to the philosopher's life and work examines the numerous ambiguities inherent in his writings and explodes many of the misconceptions that have grown in the hundred years since Nietzsche wrote "do not, above all, confound me with what I am not!"About the Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

In 1888, the last sane year of his life Nietzsche produced these two brief but devastating books. Twilight of the Idols, 'a grand declaration of war' on all the prevalent ideas of his time, offers a lightning tour of his whole philosophy. It also prepares the way for The Anti-Christ, a final assault on institutional Christianity. Yet although Nietzsche makes a compelling case for the 'Dionysian' artist and celebrates magnificently two of his great heroes, Goethe and Cesare Borgia, he also gives a moving, almost ecstatic portrait of his only worthy opponent: Christ. Both works show Nietsche lashing out at self-deception, astounded at how often morality is based on vengefulness and resentment. Both combine utterly unfair attacks on individuals with amazingly acute surveys of the whole contemporary cultural scene. Both reveal a profound understanding of human mean-spiritedness which still cannot destroy the underlying optimism of Nietzsche, the supreme affirmer among the great philosophers.

With his epic trilogy, The Sleepwalkers , Hermann Broch established himself as one of the great innovators of modern literature, a visionary writer-philosopher the equal of James Joyce, Thomas Mann, or Robert Musil. Even as he grounded his narratives in the intimate daily life of Germany, Broch was identifying the oceanic changes that would shortly sweep that life into the abyss. Whether he is writing about a neurotic army officer (The Romantic) , a disgruntled bookkeeper and would-be assassin (The Anarchist) , or an opportunistic war-deserter (The Realist) , Broch immerses himself in the twists of his characters' psyches, and at the same time soars above them, to produce a prophetic portrait of a world tormented by its loss of faith, morals, and reason.

Spis, který se v chronologii Nietzschova díla nalézá mezi Lidským, příliš lidským a Radostnou vědou, je souborem úvah, postřehů a aforismů, promyšleně seskupených do pěti knih, které nemají vlastní názvy, jsou však komponovány kolem tematických těžišť. Nietzsche v nich kriticky a s neobyčejnou psychologickou pronikavostí analyzuje základní mravní představy evropské kultury, morální kořeny křesťanství, altruistické etiky ad. "Myšlenky o morálních předsudcích" tak tvoří počátek cesty, kterou pozdní Nietzsche nazve "přehodnocením všech hodnot".
