The Staircase into the Abyss. Nietzsche and the European Mental Matrix

The book introduces the concept of a European mental matrix as the foundations of European (Western) civilization - culture, life lifestyle and a warehouse of the soul of Western peoples. The author finds out the causes of the occurrence and traces the process of evolution of the matrix, as well as the opposite of the “anti -predictable” trend of European culture, the main representative of which he considers Friedrich Nietzsche. Most of the book is dedicated to the creativity and personality of Nietagon as an antagonist of the matrix. The views of other thinkers are touched on whose work is somehow connected with the anti -bearing direction (K.G. Yunga, M. Heidegger, K. Castaneda) For philosophers, psychologists and all those interested in the history and theory of culture
