The Antichrist

The Antichrist is a classic German philosophy book by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, originally published in 1895.

Although the work was written in 1888, its content made Franz Overbeck and Heinrich K selitz delay its publication, along with Ecce Homo. The German title can be translated into English as either The Anti-Christ or The Anti-Christian, depending on how the German word christ is translated.

Christianity, as a religion of peace, is despised by Nietzsche. According to Nietzsche's account, pity has a depressive effect, loss of vitality and strength, and is harmful to life. It also preserves that which should naturally be destroyed.
