No serious consideration of values can ignore the ideas and philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche, whose writing in the late nineteenth century had a seismic impact on the twentieth century, and continues its enduring influence in several different contexts today.
Dr. Martin A. Ruehl of University of Cambridge grew up with the influence of Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, finding himself bewitched by a copy of the war edition of the book (kriegsausgabe) that was taken into WWI by his grandfather and then into WWII by his father.
But Ruehl didn’t recognise the version of Nietzsche that was presented to him in academia and has since made it his mission to bring the bloody, dangerous, anti-liberal Nietzsche back into consciousness.
