| Sumario: | This article discusses various issues related to philosophy of Hinduism and India as envisaged by Friedrich Nietzsche, the German philosopher. The article author attempts to explore Nietzsche's relationship with Hinduism and India. In Nietzsche's day there was considerable academic and popular interest in India and the religion of the majority of its inhabitants. Both Hinduism and Buddhism are of interest to Nietzsche not in themselves but as alternative positions from which to continue his attack on Christianity. Nietzsche declares that the critic of Christianity is profoundly grateful to the students of India for making Buddhism available as a religion to compare with Christianity. |
