Abstract

This essay primarily consists of an interpretation of The Anti-Christ, arguably Nietzsche’s most abrasive and overall least appreciated book. By treating this late work as what it in fact is, on the other hand, namely, the culmination of Nietzsche’s lifelong polemic against Christianity and the source of many of his most explicit and revealing pronouncements on what a “revaluation of all values” ultimately means, this essay argues that this work presents us not only with the philosopher’s definitive position on Christianity, but with the real meaning of his thought as such.
