About the Author

"Live dangerously" was Nietzsche's motto - both in his life and in his philosophy. His "will to power" would become an inspiration to artists, writers and right-wing politicians alike. Ignored, and increasingly ill, Nietzsche eventually drove himself over the brink of madness. The "Virgin Philosophers" series cover the lives and ideas of the major philosophers, attempting to clarify the mysteries of philosophy for the general reader.
