The Life of Friedrich Nietzsche is one which vacillates, frequently I might add, between Tragic and productive. I think you would be hard pressed to find an individual who does not know of Nietzsche. Perhaps you have seen a quote in passing or maybe, if you have studied philosophy, you know parts (or all) of his philosophic doctrine. Whatever level your knowledge of his philosophy may be at, how much do you know about Friedrich Nietzsche the man? Join me in discovering what inspired him to write perhaps what is the most popular of 20th and 21st century philosophies.
