The Antichrist by Friedrich Nietzsche is a philosophical work that considers the moral status of religion, as well as the nature of existence. It is one of Nietzsche's most famous works and stands as a cornerstone of his thought.
In The Antichrist, Nietzsche presents a highly controversial view of Christianity as a damaging influence upon western civilization that must come to an end. Regardless of one's religious or philosophical point of view, The Antichrist makes for an engaging philosophical discourse. He argues that Christianity has made humanity weak, and that in order for humanity to reach its true potential, these values must be discarded.
Nietzsche's one of the most debated thinkers of the 19th century, Nietzsche and his works have been by turns vilified, lauded, and subjected to numerous contradictory interpretations, and yet he remains a figure of profound import, and his works a necessary component of a well-rounded education. The Antichrist is absolutely vital to any meaningful understanding of Nietzsche the man and Nietzsche the philosopher. An insightful and entertaining indictment of Christianity, it has enraged and inspired generations of readers.

The philosopher's philosopher, Nietzsche is almost invariably misquoted, taken out-of-context, or otherwise misused - and especially so in the Anglophone world, where the long shadow of mischief using his name and writings - both in translation and in his native German - still sees him invariably cast as a sort of bogeyman, or "moral-monster". This is despite, or perhaps because of the beauty of his writing, and the originality - and many profound implications - of his philosophy.
