At once personal and political, it was written as an act of war, its publication contingent upon the German retreat. The result is a poetic and philosophical-and occasionally harrowing-record of life during wartime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing \u003ci\u003eInner Experience\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGuilty\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOn Nietzsche\u003c\/i\u003e is the third volume of Bataille's \u003ci\u003eSumma Atheologica\u003c\/i\u003e.
