Funniest Description of a Philosopher of the Week: Nietzsche

This is from the trailer for the BBC suffragette comedy, Up the Women:

‘Like Shocked-headed Peter, only much crosser!’

It does just about sum up Germany’s greatest preacher of splenetic Nihilism and the Superman.

Well, I liked it, anyway.
