Samenvatting:

American philosopher and theologian PAUL CARUS (1852-1919) wrote this small yet magnificent work, first published in 1914, where he surveys Nietzsche's views on the overman, extreme nominalism, ego-sovereignty, the principle of valuation, individualism, and more.

Not just a book on Nietzsche's philosophy, it contains biographical information based on the recollections of Paul Deussen, Nietzsche's closest friend. It also contains, and that's rare among all books on Nietzsche, chapters on his predecessor and disciples.

This book serves as both an introduction to and further reflection on one of the most controversial philosophers of the 19th century.
