== Friedrich Nietzsche, Fighter for Freedom ==
=== Friedrich Nietzsche, ein Kämpfer gegen seine Zeit ===

Explanations of Nietzsche's character, his development and the type of the "super-human" developed by him, as well as two works on Nietzsche and psychopathology. With an index of mentions of Nietzsche in Steiner's work and a list of Nietzsche literature in Steiner's library. 

=== Contents ===

The enigmatic Friedrich Nietzsche is the subject matter of this book. Nietzsche was seen by Steiner, but was lying in a coma near death. It is Nietzsche's philosophy, however, which receives emphasis here. It receives a scholarly and critical treatment. Nietzsche's philosophy is then related to Nietzsche, the man.

At one point in his life, Rudolf Steiner brought out an edition of some of Nietzsche's writings. In seeing that Nietzsche's ideas received a public exposure, Steiner was not identifying himself as one of Nietzsche's disciples, but rather assuring philosophical readers that this important link in the spiritual development of occidental thought should not be ignored.
