Together with Marx and Freud, Friedrich Nietzsche
(1844-1900) is one of the main sources of twentieth-

the world is the product of the will to power, and that
true value lies in a morality of strenuousness, have
become part of the European experience in our age.
While most of Nietzsche's work takes the form of short
'reflections', he also tried to create a major mythology
and attempted, finally, a comprehensive philosophical
system. In his often contradictory writings — which are
concentrated into the brief time-span 1872-88 - he
directs his thought again and again at the function and
value of truth. Nietzsche was an anti-systematic thinker,
yet he understood and systematically 'unmasked' the
ethic of praise and blame, of punishment and reward and
of the agony of conscience.
