Nietzsche is one of my most repsected philosophers of all time.Nietzsche was born in the Prussian province of Saxony on October 15th, 1844 and died 1901 in his sister's care after he broke down and went insane. Some claim that his insanity was caused by the incredible wieght of his intellect and the burden by which he saw reality. While he was wasting away, his sister compiled all of his notes and work and used them for her own political agenda. Elisabeth, his sister, was very involved with the Nazi party at the time and was the cause of Nietzshe's philosophy becoming the cornerstone of the Nazi political ideology.

Some of his works include; "The Birth of Tragedy"(1872), "Human, All too Human"(1878), "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", and "Nietzsche contra Wagner."
