"Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) is famous for his statement that "God is dead" and his provocative account of Master and Slave moralities-and for the fact that Adolf Hitler and the Nazis claimed that Nietzsche was one of their great inspirations. In this two hour and forty-five minute long documentary containing over 400 images, Professor Stephen Hicks asks and answers the following questions: What key elements of Hitler and the National Socialists' political philosophy? How did the Nazis succeed in coming to power in a nation as educated and civilized as Germany? What was Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy - the philosophy of "Live dangerously" and "That which does not kill us makes us stronger"? And to what extent did Nietzsche's philosophy in fact provide a foundation for the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis?" -- Container.
