About the Author
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher, cultural critic, and poet whose work has profoundly influenced Western thought. Known for his unorthodox ideas and literary style, Nietzsche explored themes of existentialism, nihilism, and the "Übermensch" (Overman). His work laid the groundwork for much of 20th-century philosophy, including existentialism and postmodernism, and continues to inspire discussions on the nature of morality and human potential.
