Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844–1900) is a German philosopher of the late
19th century who challenged the foundations of Christianity and traditional
morality. He was interested in the enhancement of individual and cultural
health, and believed in life, creativity, power, and the realities of the world
we live in, rather than those situated in a world beyond. Central to his
philosophy is the idea of “life-affirmation,” which involves an honest
questioning of all doctrines that drain life's expansive energies, however
socially prevalent those views might be. Often referred to as one of the first
existentialist philosophers along with Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855),
Nietzsche's revitalizing philosophy has inspired leading figures in all walks of
cultural life, including dancers, poets, novelists, painters, psychologists,
philosophers, sociologists and social revolutionaries.
