Nietzsche was a 19th-century German philosopher and classical philologist. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy, and science.
Nietzsche challenged the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality.
He believed in life, creativity, health, and the realities of the world we live in, rather than those situated in a world beyond. Nietzsche’s influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism. (1844-1900)
