Nietzsche and The Antichrist

Daniel Conway is Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Texas A&M University, USA. He has lectured and published widely on topics pertaining to 19th-Century Philosophy, Social and Political Philosophy, Philosophy and Literature, Philosophy and Film, and Philosophy of Religion.

This is a most welcome volume that brings to bear much needed critical attention on one of Nietzsche’s most important texts from his fertile late period. To illuminate this most provocative of texts Daniel Conway has assembled some of the finest commentators and scholars currently writing on Nietzsche today. The result is an incredibly rich and highly instructive set of well-researched and lucidly written essays that will engage readers across the humanities, including in philosophy, the history of ideas, literary studies, and German studies.
