Get Over Yourself Av Patrick West

<p>Many books have sought to introduce the writings of the infamous and influential philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, but <em>Get Over Yourself</em> puts matters the other way round. Rather than simply explaining his thought, it instead asks: what would Nietzsche make of us? What would he think of our 21st-century, digital age? In our time of identity politics, therapy culture, ''safe spaces'', religious fundamentalism, virtue-signalling, Twitterstorms, public emoting, ‘dumbing-down’, digital addiction and the politics of envy, the book introduces Nietzsche by putting the man in our shoes. <em>Get Over Yourself</em> both uses Nietzsche’s philosophy to understand our society, and takes our society to explain his philosophy.</p>
