Friedrich Nietzsche is one of the most popular and controversial philosophers. This book shows us that, in fact, the 'real' Nietzsche has tremendous value for the modern seeker and is not the dark figure some have made him. It brings out Nietzsche's view of a successful inner life, the notion of 'passionate inwardness', and deep emotions. This book reflects Solomon's long engagement with Nietzsche, drawing not only upon his previously published works but also on a range of student reactions to Nietzsche and a life of reading Nietzsche , culling favorite passages that resonate in different contexts, and changing opinions concerning doctrines.this book is pleasantly conversational and may be useful for those who are attracted by Nietzsche's passion but find the doctrines of the will to power or the Ubermensch hard to love with.
