FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE:-A PHILOSOPHER

A philosopher,a prophet,a poet,heretic Nietzsche has been many things to many people.He has been turned to a militarist,a rasict ,a chauvinist by manupilation of his texts.More so in Nazi Germany.Friedrich Nietzsche was born on October 15,1844 .Died 1900.In Germany.He was one of the most readable philosophers and penned a large number of aphorisms and varied forms of experimental philosophy.The word "philosophy"does not really apply to his thoughts.He was a man of ideas ,brilliant, illuminating ideas which hang together.When he said" be hard" he meant be hard on your own weakness,slackness and indolence.He was fascinated by figures such as Caesar ,Napolean for what they were and what they had done for them selves.Nietzsche was an harsh critic of chirstianity.He belived that chirstianity is an religion of weak and unhealthy people,whose genernal historical effect has been to undermine the healthy qualities of more noble cultures.Nietzsche loathed smugness, complacency and mass mediocrity.
