Part 17/19:
Friedrich Nietzsche, born in 1844, is known for his provocative critiques of traditional morality and religion. His concept of the Übermensch or "Overman," advocated for the creation of individual values beyond conventional morality. Nietzsche's declaration that “God is dead” highlights his challenge to religious and societal norms.
His existential and postmodern ideas have left a profound impact across various disciplines, influencing thinkers in philosophy, psychology, and literature, even as his life was marked by illness and eventual breakdown.
