Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher and cultural critic whose radical critiques of religion, morality, and truth reshaped modern thought. His major works, including Thus Spoke Zarathustra , Beyond Good and Evil , and On the Genealogy of Morals , introduced key concepts such as the Übermensch, the will to power, and the idea of eternal recurrence. Nietzsche’s provocative declaration that “God is dead” and his call for a revaluation of all values continue to influence existentialism, postmodernism, and literature.
