Friedrich Nietzsche (philosopher)

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher known for challenging traditional beliefs about morality, religion, and truth. He argued that traditional values, particularly those from Christianity, limited human potential and creativity. Nietzsche promoted the idea of 'will to power,' a concept suggesting individuals should strive to shape their own values and live authentically. He also explored the concept of the 'Übermensch' (Overman), an idealized person who creates their own meaning in life. His work encourages thinking independently, questioning authority, and embracing life's complexities, making a lasting impact on modern philosophy, literature, and psychology.
