About the Author
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher, poet, and cultural critic, widely regarded as one of the most profound thinkers of the modern era. Known for his incisive critique of religion, morality, and traditional philosophy, Nietzsche’s work laid the groundwork for existentialism, postmodernism, and critical theory.
Nietzsche’s philosophical journey was marked by radical ideas, including the declaration that "God is dead," his vision of the "Übermensch" (Overman), and his exploration of eternal recurrence. Despite facing significant health challenges and periods of isolation, Nietzsche’s writings have profoundly influenced literature, psychology, art, and political theory.
