Beginning with an autobiographical prologue that traces his evolution from religious believer to 'heretic,' the book touches on theology, organized religion, morality, suffering, and death-all examined from the perspective of a 'quest for honesty.' Kaufmann also subjects philosophy's faith in truth, reason, and absolute morality to the same heretical treatment. Although he considered himself a heretic, he was not immune to the wellsprings and impulses from which religion originates, declaring it among the most vital and radical expressions of the human mind.

A first-rate philosopher in his own right, Kaufmann here provides the fullest account of his views on religion.

Originally published in 1959, The Faith of a Heretic is the most personal statement of the beliefs of Nietzsche biographer and translator Walter Kaufmann.
