Download Legendary Philosophers: The Life and Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche AudioBook Free
"You can find no facts, only interpretations." (Nietzsche) A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most important numbers, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees and shrubs? Among all the data and pursuits handed down by our ancestors, few were as important as school of thought, which literally educated people how to believe and became directly accountable for ideas like reason and empiricism. Men like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle formed the backbone of American philosophy, and succeeding philosophers like Marcus Aurelius and Thomas Aquinas expounded on prior school of thought. In Charles River Editors' Legendary Philosophers series, listeners can get right up to accelerate on the lives of the most important philosophers in history in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long neglected or never known. It might be fair to say that everyone's thinking has been inspired at one point or another by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, or at least a person who was influenced subsequently by Nietzsche. Nietzsche (1844-1900) was one of the most important men of the 19th century, a German philosopher, poet, and composer who published at period about everything from religion to knowledge. In addition to the value of his work, he was a deft article writer and polemic, guaranteeing his continuing reputation among readers. Nietzsche's influence remains substantive within and beyond school of thought today, most notably in existentialism, nihilism, and postmodernism, all growing movements in the 21st century.
