Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Nietzschean revolution governed the twentieth century, preaching the revaluation of all values, the privileging of interpretations over facts, the dominance of art. The 'crisis of consciousness' is our normality. Nihilism is both good and bad. It opposes all the conventional thinking and moralistic repressions of periods before the telescreen age. But not so many people can believe in nothing, and Nietzsche wasn't one of them. The book asserts that while Nietzsche's insights were necessary, in 2012 we have to revalue his value.
