Friedrich Nietzsche



Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the remarkable German philosophers, who was successful in adding fame to the country through his memorable works. Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Röcken, Saxony. His father was a Lutheran pastor. After the demise of his father, Friedrich Nietzsche was brought up by a group of female relatives.

Friedrich Nietzsche gave up theology to pursue a course in Philology at Leipzig and Bonn. By gaining a thorough command over classical literature, he was appointed at Basel, very early in his academic career.

Friedrich Nietzsche Works

The publication of “The Birth of Tragedy” was a major landmark in the life of Friedrich Nietzsche, where people got to learn about the disparities between and approaches to the cultures of Dionysus and Apollo. However due to ill health, he had to forcefully cut short his teaching career and thus the genre of his production got altered.

From the more scholarly works, the pattern of Friedrich Nietzsche's works diverted to anti-religious and quasi-philosophical. Some of the famous works are “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”, “Human All Too Human” “Beyond Good and Evil”and “The Gay Science”. While composing these lofty and famous masterpieces, he went through a lot of stress, which affected both his physical and mental health. Some works of Friedrich Nietzsche such as “Ecce Homo”, an autobiographical work and “Will to Power” were published after his death. ”Twilight of the Idols”, and “On the Genealogy of Morals” are other distinctive works of Friedrich Nietzsche.

The life of Friedrich Nietzsche was as great as all the historical works produced by him.
