Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, classical scholar, and cultural critic who became one of the most influential modern thinkers.
Born in 1844, he began his career as a philologist before turning to philosophy.
Nietzsche's work encompassed various topics, including religion, morality, and the human condition.
He developed concepts such as the รbermensch, eternal recurrence, and the will to power.
His writing style was characterized by aphorisms and poetic language.
Nietzsche's later years were marked by mental illness, and he died in 1900.
His sister's posthumous editing of his work led to associations with fascism, but scholars have since corrected these misinterpretations.
Nietzsche's ideas continue to influence philosophy, art, and culture.
