Twilight of the Idols

Twilight of the Idols is a philosophical work by Friedrich Nietzsche, written in 1888 and published in 1889. In this book, Nietzsche critiques Western society’s intellectual and cultural values, particularly targeting religion, morality, and metaphysics. Through a series of sharp, provocative aphorisms, he challenges established ideas such as the concept of “truth,” the influence of Christian morality, and the ideal of the “noble” individual. Nietzsche argues for revaluating values, promoting life-affirming principles, and embracing strength, vitality, and individualism. The work is both a critique of the past and a call for a new kind of philosophy, one that encourages personal growth and the transcendence of traditional moral constraints.
