Nietzsche's Bibliography

Overview

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher (1844–1900) and cultural critic who became one of the most influential modern thinkers, known for his radical critiques of traditional religion, morality, and absolute truth. He proposed that the decline of religious belief, summarized by his famous declaration “God is dead,” led to a crisis of nihilism that required a “revaluation of all values” to affirm life.
