Project Gutenberg 2005-01-01 Public domain in the USA. 451 Nietzsche, Friedrich Wilhelm 1844 1900 Götzen-Dämmerung Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight_of_the_Idols This text has been derived from HTML files at "Projekt Gutenberg DE" "Götzen-Dämmerung" by Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche is a philosophical work written in the late 19th century. The text is a critical commentary that challenges existing moral frameworks, exploring topics such as the nature of truth, morality, and the philosophical implications of decadence in thought and society. Nietzsche employs a sharp, provocative style, using the metaphor of a hammer to deconstruct widely accepted beliefs, urging a reevaluation of values and revealing the hollowness of established doctrines. The opening of "Götzen-Dämmerung" sets the stage for Nietzsche's exploration of what he perceives to be a crucial philosophical and cultural crisis. He introduces the idea that maintaining a sense of cheerfulness amidst serious subjects is not just desirable but necessary, illustrating his approach to philosophy as a sort of artistic endeavor. Nietzsche reflects on the significance of joy and creativity in the face of daunting realities and anticipates using his "hammer" to question various widely revered concepts—his anticipation of engaging in a philosophical "war" against idols of thought. This section hints at Nietzsche's overarching intentions to dissect both traditional views on morality and the societal mechanisms that uphold them, suggesting a radical reevaluation of human values as a means to invigorate individual thought and spirit.
