Summary:

The significance of Friedrich Nietzsche for twentieth-century culture is now no longer a matter of dispute. He was quite simply one of the most influential of modern thinkers. His attempts to unmask the root motives underlying traditional Western philosophy, morality, and religion have deeply affected subsequent generations of philosophers, theologians, psychologists, poets, novelists, and playwrights. Nietzsche thought through the consequences of the triumph of Enlightenment secularism and in so doing laid the foundations for the philosophical agenda of the twentieth century, the 'post-Nietzschean age.'
