Portrait of Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 – 1900) was a German philosopher. His style and radical questioning of the value and objectivity of truth have resulted in much commentary and interpretation, mostly in the continental tradition. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism, nihilism, and postmodernism.
