This 1914 book is a survey of Nietzsche’s views on topics such as valuation, individualism, and ego-sovereignty. Carus also gathers biographical information from Nietzsche’s close friend Paul Deussen and presents them alongside chapters on those with whom Nietzsche worked most closely.
About the author
Paul Carus (1852-1919) was a German-American author, philosopher, theologian, and editor. Brought up in an orthodox Protestant family, Carus developed liberal ideas which prompted him to move away from home to America. He edited several journals promoting free thought, then went on to write books, as well as correspond with figures such as Tolstoy, Edison, and Booker T. Washington. He pioneered interfaith dialogue, as well as created his own concept of religion, called the Religion of Science. He wrote The Soul of Man (1891), The Gospel of Buddha (1894), Nietzsche and Other Exponents of Individualism (1914), among many others.
