«El ocaso de los ídolos: cómo se filosofa a martillazos» is the philosophical essay by Friedrich Nietzsche, published by Busma in paperback (165 pages).
Friedrich Nietzsche examines and questions the foundations of Western thought: Christian morality, religion and traditional philosophy appear as idols that have denied life. The author proposes a new way of thinking, linked to the will to power and the overman, and vindicates the transvaluation of all values.
Translation by Francisco Javier Carretero Moreno, with a preliminary study by Enrique López Castellón. 1985 edition, belonging to the 'PPP' collection, number 43.
For readers interested in philosophy and the history of ideas, especially those who want to approach Nietzsche's thought.
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.
