Friedrich Nietzsches thoughts in 140 characters or less.
Tweetable Nietzsche introduces and analyzes the worldview of Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsches tweets, 140 characters or less, provide readers a distilled essence of every major aspect of his worldview. Each tweet illustrates some aspect of his worldview contributing toward a full-orbed understanding of Nietzsches thought.
Friedrich Nietzsche radically confronted Western culture, morality, and social mores, until his death in 1900. Occupying a first-rank position as a thinker, his thought later inspired numerous movements that weave the tapestries of contemporary culture: existentialism, theology, nihilistic culture, Nazism, twentieth century film and art, atheism, ethical egoism, deconstruction, the hermeneutics of suspicion, and the postmodern age.
Nietzsches incalculable sway on our culture persists to this day. Even his acerbic criticism of Christianity has affected the religion. But many people remain unaware of the pervasive attitudes Nietzsche disseminated, attitudes they echo. His stark prophecy that God is dead, and we killed him thrives in this accelerating secular age where postmodernists lionized him as a prophetic voice of a new era.

Ivan Spencer has put together a brilliant and creative introduction to the profoundly influential thought of Friedrich Nietzsche. Placing Nietzsches sayings in the contemporary context of the Twittersphere, Spencer has not only made this nineteenth-century German philosophers work accessible to modern readers, he has provided thoughtful, reflective, and significantly helpful interpretation as well. Spencers work is commendable on many levels, but the truly important contribution of this book can be found in Spencers insightful analysis of the worldview implications of Nietzsches thought. I highly recommend this fine work.

Ivan Spencers Tweetable Nietzsche is the liveliest and fastest-paced introduction to Friedrich Nietzsches thought that one could wish for. Anyone who reads this book will be informed, instructed, and entertained.
BRUCE RILEY ASHFORD, Provost and Professor of Theology and Culture, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
Ivan Spencers Tweetable Nietzsche is absolutely fantastic! Nietzsche has been, and continues to be, one of the most important thinkers in the history of Western thought. Spencer does a masterful job of representing the major features of his thought and capturing his aphoristic style. For any student of philosophy or the history of ideas, this is an absolute must-read. I am delighted to see this great contribution to Nietzschean literature!
JAMES K. DEW JR., Associate Professor of History of Ideas and Philosophy, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
I once wrote a paper titled Why Nietzsche Was Right in his criticisms of the church and so forth. Ultimately, I said he was Wrong. This book by Ivan Spencer is also Right and certainly not wrong. By Right I mean really, really good. By Wrong I mean Nietzsche had a fallacious worldview. We need more books like this one, with its worldview orientation, specifically toward Nietzsche. And thank God for @TwilghtOfIdols and several other hashtags. If you read this work, you too can tweet Nietzsche in under 140 characters (including spaces) and perhaps develop a biblical worldviewone unlike Nietzsches own. After all, he got things Wrong!

I magine that the iconic and protean philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche returns from beyond to tweet his views on life, humanity, into tiny quotes in the Twitter format as if he were alive today. Through his short and biting statements, we will quickly grasp the big picture of his worldview. After surveying tweets of his major themes, well dive into some deeper evaluations and implications.
Why Nietzsche?
On a Richter scale of thinkers, the Nietzschean earthquake ranks well above 9.0 with many serious aftershocks. Overestimation of his influence rarely occurs due to an ongoing domino effect he initiated not only in the arts and humanities but also in ethics, politics, and philosophy. Spawning diverse movements and followers, his brilliant flashes of intuition, wit, and pithy insights scan the human situation like an MRI of the brain, earning both praise and scorn from countless observers. Though prophetic in his cultural foresight, he perplexes most people with his counterintuitive contrarian style. Nietzsche inspires, mystifies, enthuses, agitates, or riles everyone who encounters him. You may agree or disagree with Nietzsche, but an understanding of his ideas allows deeper insight into our times because he pioneered many cultural developments of the past century.
The Twitter format fits Nietzsche like a glove because of his poignant and aphoristic style. If he were alive today, he would probably tweet his razor-sharp intuitions about the human situation. Viewing Nietzsche through a social-networking filter helps us understand his significance in our fast-paced world.
What is Twitter? Twitter connects people in a popular online social-networking environment that moves nimbly and quickly. When people tweet, they broadcast a digital message of 140 characters or less from their phone, computer, or tablet. Twitter empowers a handful or a hundred million people to tune in to another persons tweets and follow their comments. Messages instantly envelop the globe. While Nietzsche is not actually here to tweet, we will follow him. If any #hashtags appear after the tweets, I have added those. Hashtags function as keywords on Twitter.
The idea for Tweetable Nietzsche emerged in 2013 out of my conversations with my daughters, colleagues, and my History of Ideas students. The need for an accessible introduction to Nietzsche for the social-networking savvy merged with a worldview study that fits his method.
Nietzsches enigmatic life puzzles interpreters. He lived a lonely and painful life of both physical and emotional suffering. His last twelve years, ending in 1900, windswept his intellectual powers into a dark abyss of insanity. Despite this tragic finale, he grew to an astonishing and cult-like fame, of which he remained oblivious. After his death, his legend enlarged to near-mythic proportions. Nietzsches apotheosis into an archetype in Western culture epitomizes the eccentric, original, authentic, and tragic philosopher. What specific ideas does he epitomize?
Varied interpretations abound, compete, and multiply. Plainly an . We will explore these questions and other topics as Nietzsche tweets his view of the world.
