Friedrich Nietzche


            Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher of the late nineteenth century who challenged the foundations of traditional morality and Christianity. He believed in life, creativity, health, and above all, the realities of the world in which we live in. Friedrich Nietzsche challenged all ideas that had not only come before him, but also those that came about during his own period. The central idea of Nietzsche philosophies is the idea of "life affirmation", the honest questioning of everything that life brings you. In a Nietzschean world, you must examine the role of habits, rights, morals, and traditions in your life. There is no objective order or structure in this world, except what you give it. Much of what makes the world modern also makes in Nietzschean. .
             Perhaps the most common misconception about Nietzsche is that he was a nihilist. Nihilism is undoubtedly one of the central themes of his works, concerned mainly with the effects of nihilism and their massive effects on society. In a nihilist world nothing can be known, there are no moral truths, and above all anything goes. "The last man", Nietzsche predict, would be one response to nihilism. "The last man" does not ask the fundamental questions in life and does not realize that you are the only one who can hold yourself back. This timid creature Nietzsche called "the last man.".
             Nietzsche had many existential ideas in which he become famous for, possibly the most controversial idea, "God is dead." With the death of God, Nietzsche believed that man would be free to create values that agreed more generously with human nature rather than just inheriting religious values. As humans, we are all to depend on God. If God is dead, then everything is permitted or in other words, if God is dead nothing is forbidden. You are forced to do research to better understand what you believe. Explore your environment, let this change make you your own person.
