# The Antichrist is issued post-collapse as a public war on Christianity Date: 1895 ## The fact In 1895 Der Antichrist reached the public as a war-book against Christianity. He wrote it; he did not control 1895 issue. It is one event. ## Context A delayed issue can still polarise. Split sister’s Will to Power as a different editorial crime. [Friedrich Nietzsche](/people/friedrich-nietzsche)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death. He wrote Der Antichrist in 1888. Publication waited until 1895 under the post-collapse editorial regime. Later churches and anti-churches used it as a banner. Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers date the row. ## Evidence and sources Nietzsche Source’s 1888 text and Britannica’s publication chronology independently separate writing from 1895 issue. Official or archival record: Nietzsche Source — Digital Critical Edition (eKGWB) (https://doc.nietzschesource.org/en/ekgwb; Nietzsche Source / Paolo D’Iorio). ## Significance A post-collapse war-book under his title polarised confession as a public enemy. 1895 is not 1901 Will to Power. A post-collapse war-book under his title polarised confession as a public enemy. ## What is established and what is not Established: 1888 composition and 1895 public issue. Not established: that he authorised every 1895 paratext. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Friedrich Nietzsche. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date, signatory, or non-occurrence; a demonstrated forgery; or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of other causes. They are not a public rating. ## People - Friedrich Nietzsche: https://factrail.ai/people/friedrich-nietzsche ## Drivers - Political Polarization: https://factrail.ai/drivers/political-polarization ## Sources - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Friedrich-Nietzsche - https://doc.nietzschesource.org/en/ekgwb ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/nie-antichrist-1895
