Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, cultural critic, and poet, known for his profound and often controversial ideas about morality, culture, and existence. Born in 1844, Nietzsche's work explored themes such as the death of God, the will to power, and the concept of the Übermensch (Overman), challenging the foundations of traditional Western philosophy and morality. His writings, including 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' and 'Beyond Good and Evil,' have had a lasting impact on existentialism, postmodernism, and various fields of the humanities. Nietzsche's critique of nihilism and his call for the creation of new values continue to resonate in contemporary discussions about meaning and existence.
Born on Oct 15, 1844 (180 years old)
