Φρίντριχ Νίτσε was a German philosopher born in 1844, known for his influential ideas on morality, culture, and the nature of existence. He challenged traditional beliefs and introduced concepts such as the Übermensch and the idea of the "will to power." His works often critiqued religion, particularly Christianity, and emphasized individualism and self-overcoming. Nietzsche's writing style was unique, often employing aphorisms and poetic language. Some of his most notable works include Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, and The Birth of Tragedy. He passed away in 1900, but his thoughts continue to shape modern philosophy and literature.
