Twilight of the Idols

“Nietzsche's most readable book, written in a week and covering his core positions — the critique of Socratic rationalism, the revaluation of values, the will to power — in compressed, aphoristic form. After working through the Socratic and Stoic traditions, the force of his challenge is felt properly. The chapter 'How the Real World Finally Became a Fable' is six paragraphs and rewrites the history of philosophy.”
