The Philosophy of Frederick Nietzsche
Frederick Nietzsche, a prominent 19th-century German philosopher, challenged traditional European morality and religious fundamentalism. Despite facing difficulties and poor reception during his lifetime, Nietzsche's work gained popularity after his death. He has been misinterpreted as a precursor to Nazism, but he actually despised anti-Semitic beliefs. Nietzsche emphasized the concept of self-overcoming, urging individuals to face reality and embrace suffering to grow as people. He believed in the importance of creating our own values and morals, especially in a world without religious beliefs. Nietzsche proposed the idea of the Overman, a superior being who rises above the limitations of ordinary existence.
