De qué trata
El Anticristo (1888): el ataque frontal al cristianismo, y el texto más violento que escribió.
Contexto e historia
Para leerlo hacen falta dos cosas. La primera, que distingue a Jesús —de quien habla con un respeto que sorprende— de la Iglesia y sobre todo de Pablo, que es el acusado de verdad. La segunda, la fecha: lo escribió semanas antes del derrumbe de Turín, y el tono se nota. **Nota:** esta obra está también dentro del volumen Twilight of the Idols … The Antichrist, que aparece por separado; no son un duplicado. Es una traducción inglesa de la edición completa dirigida por Oscar Levy (1909-1913), la que está en dominio público. Tiene más de un siglo y se le nota. El original es ALEMÁN, y al citar hay que seguir el original: en el catálogo hay dos, Also sprach Zarathustra y Der Wille zur Macht; del resto, aquí solo está la traducción.
Contexto editorial, no una fuente citable: a diferencia de los pasajes de la obra, estos datos no se pueden comprobar contra el corpus.
This book belongs to the most rare of men. Perhaps not one of them is yet alive. It is possible that they may be among those who understand my "Zarathustra": how _could_ I confound myself with those who are now sprouting ears?--First the day after tomorrow must come for me. Some men are born posthumously. The conditions under which any one understands me, and _necessarily_ understands me--I know them only too well. Even to endure my seriousness, my passion, he must carry intellectual integrity to the verge of hardness. He must be accustomed to living on mountain tops--and to looking upon the wretched gabble of politics and nationalism as _beneath_ him. He must have become indifferent; he must never ask of the truth whether it brings profit to him or a fatality to him.... He must have an inclination, born of strength, for questions that no one has the courage for; the courage for the _forbidden_; predestination for the labyrinth. The experience of seven solitudes. New ears for new music. New eyes for what is most distant. A new conscience for truths that have hitherto remained unheard. _And_ the will to economize in the grand manner--to hold together his strength, his enthusiasm.... Reverence for self; love of self; absolute freedom of self.... Very well, then! of that sort only are my readers, my true readers, my readers foreordained: of what account are the _rest_?--The rest are merely humanity.--One must make one's self superior to humanity, in power, in _loftiness_ of soul,--in contempt. FRIEDRICH W. NIETZSCHE. THE ANTICHRIST 1. --Let us look each other in the face. We are Hyperboreans--we know well enough how remote our place is. "Neither by land nor by water will you find the road to the Hyperboreans": even Pindar,[1] in his day, knew _that_ much about us. Beyond the North, beyond the ice, beyond _death_--_our_ life, _our_ happiness....…
