Nietzsche was a German philosopher and cultural critic. His message was avoiding that which drained life’s energy. He wrote several texts on the affect of religion in society as well as dichotomy, and the role of life.
His work, however controversial, was highly touted and still holds influence with many today. It is unfortunate that his rise was stalled by illness so early in his career. He died by 55 years old.
