Annotation,Friedrich Nietzsche has become one of the most talked about philosophers in history. Unfortunately, he has not also become one of the best understood.

Accordingly, understanding what Nietzsche really said is no simple matter. In this lucid and skillfully written volume, Robert Solomon and Kathleen Higgins have provided the most comprehensive overview available of the life and work of Friedrich Nietzsche. From Nietzsche's ideas on "the will to power" to his attack on religion and morality to his infamous Ubermensch (superman) theory, What Nietzsche Really Said gets to the heart of Nietzsche's philosophy and offers many helpful hints, guidelines and insights for reading and understanding this controversial thinker. This sophisticated yet lively account will tell you everything you need to know about Friedrich Nietzsche as well as the myths and controversies that surround his life and work.
