About the book
The Antichrist is a philosophical polemic by Friedrich Nietzsche, written in 1888 and published in 1895. Addressed to a deliberately narrow readership, it attacks Christianity as a religion of pity that preserves the weak and drains life of vitality. Nietzsche measures good by the growth of power and calls modern values decadent. He traces Christianity to a Jewish priesthood that falsified God, morality and history, then contrasts the Church with the way of life he ascribes to Jesus. He also compares Christianity with Buddhism and criticizes Schopenhauer's ethics of compassion.
