«El Anticristo» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published in paperback in the Poesía y Prosa Popular collection (138 pages, in Spanish).
Nietzsche here attacks Christianity, which he considers a nihilistic morality that denies vital impulses and exalts weakness and suffering. In 62 sections, he reviews its origins, its influence on European culture, and its role in the decline of Western morality, and contrasts the figure of the Antichrist with those values.
The text, written in 1888, was first published in 1895. This edition is from 1990 and includes a preliminary study by Enrique López Castellón and the translation by Francisco Javier Carretero Moreno.
For philosophy readers interested in Nietzsche's thought and in the critique of Christianity.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher and writer who started his career as a classical philologist and turned to philosophy early in his academic career. In 1869, at age 24, he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel. Plagued by health problems for most of his life, he resigned from the university in 1879. He afterward lived as an independent writer, spending much of his life in relative solitude and financial insecurity while moving between Switzerland, Italy, and southern France in search of climates that might alleviate his condition, and in the following decade, he completed much of his core writing. In 1889, aged 44, he suffered a neurological collapse, and thereafter a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and vascular dementia; he lived out his remaining 11 years, first under the care of his mother, and later his sister, until his death. His works and his philosophy have fostered not only extensive scholarship but also much popular interest.
