Autor

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, classical scholar, and cultural critic, known for his profound influence on modern thought. Born on October 15, 1844, in R cken, Germany, Nietzsche initially pursued a career as a classical philologist before transitioning to philosophy. His works challenged traditional beliefs, and his critiques of culture, religion, and morality made him one of the most influential philosophers of the 19th century. Nietzsche's writings explored complex concepts such as the "will to power," the " bermensch," and the idea of the eternal recurrence. His works, including "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and "Beyond Good and Evil," questioned the foundations of Western philosophy and introduced ideas that would later shape existentialism and postmodernism. Nietzsche s intellectual journey was influenced by figures like Arthur Schopenhauer and Fyodor Dostoevsky. He faced personal struggles throughout his life, including mental illness, which led to his decline in health. He passed away on August 25, 1900, in Weimar, Germany, at the age of 55. Nietzsche s parents were Carl Ludwig Nietzsche and Franziska Oehler, and he had a brother, Ludwig Joseph Nietzsche, and a sister, Elisabeth F rster-Nietzsche. His groundbreaking ideas continue to resonate in contemporary philosophy and culture.
