Features: Since Yan Fu translated Western political and legal works in the late Qing Dynasty to the 1940s, many insightful scholars in the Chinese academic circle were deeply puzzled by the unprecedented major event in the history of Chinese thought when they encountered Western learning. They diligently sought the essence of Western studies, selecting classic works based on their personal talents and interests, giving rise to a generation of outstanding translators. It is understandable that at that time, the academic community's understanding of Western thought was still in its infancy, and the selection of Western classics was inevitably somewhat arbitrary. Nietzsche, a man of multiple identities: he was a university professor, a poet, a philosopher, and a lonely wanderer. He killed God, but he was not the mythical demon. He was a real person, and it was said that without understanding Nietzsche, one could not understand the Western philosophical, literary, and social trends of our century. Let us explore this controversial figure in the history of Western philosophy, who stirred up a political storm in the early 20th century, through his life. This book is one of the Nietzsche commentaries.
