Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche Quotes

Information about Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Challenging the very foundations of Christianity and traditional morality, this late 19th century philosopher espoused his beliefs in life, creativity and the realities of the world we live in rather than the world beyond that no one could see. His work has inspired a number of figures over the years since, notably novelists, painters, psychologists, philosophers and social revolutionaries. Nietzsche's work regarding the philosophy of "life affirmation", which honestly questions doctrines that drains life energies, no matter how socially entrenched they are, earned him his reputation as one of the first existentialist philosophers. In his later life, Nietzsche is said to have suffered a complete mental breakdown. He died in Weimar in 1900 at the age of 56.
