Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher, cultural critic, and philologist. His writing blends aphorism, polemic, and poetic intensity, challenging inherited values and proposing concepts such as the will to power, eternal recurrence, and the revaluation of all morals. Nietzsche’s influence spans philosophy, literature, psychology, and political theory, with works like Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil remaining central to debates about modernity and individual agency.
