I often marvel at a trend in modern thinking to place Nietzsche at the pinnacle of modern philosophy, at least in the area of morality. It as though with Nietzsche's "A-ha!" experience with Christianity that a vast curtain has arisen and man now sees himself in his true form.
The most recent example I've found of this happened today, when I purchased Crime and Punishment. Although the work is well-known for its profound Christian sense in relation to the difficulties posed by life, the publishers make no mention of this but only, on the back cover, tout the work as a prelude to the work and thought of Nietzsche.
