With Friedrich Nietzsche, philosophy was dangerous not only for philosophers but for everyone. Nietzsche ended up going mad, but his ideas presaged a collective madness that had horrific consequences in Europe in the early 1900s. Though his philosophy is more one of aphorisms and insights than a system, it is brilliant, persuasive, and incisive. His major concept is the will to power, which he saw as the basic impulse for all our acts. Christianity he saw as a subtle perversion of this concept, thus Nietzsche's famous pronouncement, "God is dead."

In Nietzsche in 90 Minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Nietzsche's life and ideas and explains their influence on man's struggle to understand his existence in the world.

Apparently one of the strengths of Nietzsche is his ability to be quoted. Many of the other
philosophers were very hard to read, and Nietzsche next to them is not. I didn't realize the
last 11 years of his life were pretty much in a comatose state. The Nazi Party could use
Nietzsche because he spoke in Memes, and they can be misinterpreted easily. He lived on
a pension from his job as a professor in Switzerland. I enjoyed listening to the story.
