About Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher and philologist whose best-known works include Thus Spoke Zarathustra; Ecce Homo; Human, All Too Human; and Beyond Good and Evil. Much of his work is characterized by radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth and criticism of traditional ideals of morality. Nietzsche's writings were significant influences on the existentialist, nihilist, and postmodernist schools of thought, as well as on the work of such later writers as Herman Hesse, Albert Camus, Sigmund Freud, and Jean-Paul Sartre.

I'm merely heavy--weigh......more

E o oprimare intelectuala pentru mine să vorbesc despre Nietzsche, nu am mai făcut asta,  am citit ce-a de-a doua carte a lui, după Aforisme, nu e ușor deloc, Nietzsche se citește ca o ecuație,  ca o problemă de matematică dificilă,  simți ca te apropii de soluționarea ei, dar observi iar niște eror......more
