“One loves ultimately one’s desires, not the thing desired.”\n\n\nFriedrich Nietzche was a leading German philosopher, a pioneer in raising existential thoughts and forcing society at large to question why they need faith, religion and a sense of belonging.\n\n\nAt the heart of Nietzsche’s argument is the idea that to learn the truth one must question everything they have ever learned or observed. Nothing is free from this self-interrogation, including self-perception, societal teachings, and religion.\n\n\nNietzsche insists that nothing can be split into black and white―there exist only shades of grey. This argument forms the foundation for his discussion of religion.\n\n\nThrough his philosophy, Nietzche insists individuals find their own truth, will and impose it upon the world to find their authentic way of life.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844?19) was a notable German philosopher who remains one of the most influential modern thinkers. He is renowned for writing on the concept of the ?Superman?, the end of religion in a modern society as well as his exploration of the concepts of good and evil. Some of his major philosophical works are Thus Spake Zarathustra (1883), The Antichrist (1885) and Twilight of the Idols (1889). Many major thinkers of the 2th century such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Sigmund Freud and Albert Camus, among others, were deeply influenced by Nietzsche?s ideas. After his death, the misappropriation of his works by the Nazi Party in the 3s and 4s of the last century to further their fascist activities resulted in a negative reputation for generations whereas Nietzsche himself was steadfastly against anti-Semitism. Nietzsche died on 25 August 19, aged 55.
