Friedrich Nietzsche, born: October 15, 1844, Röcken, Saxony, Germany—died August 25, 1900, Weimar, Thuringian States
German classical scholar, philosopher, and critic of culture, who became one of the most influential of all modern thinkers. His attempts to unmask the motives that underlie traditional Western religion, morality, and philosophy deeply affected generations of theologians, philosophers, psychologists, poets, novelists, and playwrights.
Friedrich Nietzsche was a gifted philosopher who became the youngest ever professor at Basel University aged 24 in 1869. While in Basel Nietsche formed a friendship with the composer Richard Wagner.
He is known for numerous major works of philosophy, quite controversial at the time, like "Apollonian" and "Dionysian", "Übermensch" and "Also sprach Zarathustra". Nietzsche is particularly associated with Nihilism and associates it with the modern age.
Nietzsche's life descended into madness after 1888 and he spent the last 11 years of this life suffering mental illness generally thought to have been brought on by syphilis contracted as a young man.
