This brief overview makes the ideas of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche accessible to high school, community college, and university students in a first course in philosophy. Even less-prepared students will be able to follow the book’s plain language explanations and interpretations written in a conversational style, with special emphasis on connecting Nietzsche’s ideas to contemporary films, books, movements, and trends. Students will learn to pronounce the philosopher’s name by listening to the Monty Python philosopher song on YouTube. Chapter homework suggestions prompt students to explore online resources for musical pieces, statues, and historical sites. Learning features include a clean layout with quote boxes, brief chapter summaries, and lined pages for student notes. Distributed by W. W. Norton.
