Praze: Kamina Neumannova-Kremova, 1905. First Czech Edition. Octavo. 86p. Translated by Leopold Pudlac with a preface By Friedrich Nietzsche. The scarce First Edition translated into Czech. The Critique of Christian Morality deals with a very controversial and still current part of the philosophy of this well-known German author. The principal aim of the work is to bring closer the interpretation questions of ideas of Friedrich Nietzsche in the context of his critical view of Christian morality and human morality itself. His work not only gives the reasons why Friedrich Nietzsche is referred to as a nihilist but also the arguments contrary to this thesis.
