Excerpt from Nietzsche and the Ideals of Modern GermanySince the war began Friedrich Nietzsche has been widely discussed, and the question has been asked how far his Neue Moral explains the attitude of the Germans in international affairs. Newspapers and magazines have been filled with estimates which may well bewilder the public. One critic declares that chapter and verse may be quoted from Zarathustra to justify every step which Germany has taken, another finds that no philosopher has spoken out more boldly against the spirit of racial aggressiveness - that, in short, Nietzsche is the champion of the German Geist, not as embodied in, but as contrasted with, the German Reich. In the heated language of the moment there is, of course, much exaggeration and much mis understanding, unfortunately, the truth on the sub ject is somewhat difficult of access to the British reader. Most people are deterred from investigating at first hand when they find that some twenty volumes are to be consulted, and the available hand books are unsatisfactory. Our competent teachers of ethics have, for the most part, passed Nietzsche by, and the work of expounding him has fallen largely to the zealots of his own school.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
