Nietzsche is one of the most important modern philosophers and his writings on the nature of art are amongst the most influential of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This GuideBook introduces and assesses:

  • the ideas and texts of his works which contribute to art, including TheBirth of Tragedy, Human, All Too Human and Thus Spoke Zarathustra
