by Arthur Russell (Author)
In 19th Prussia, human values were thought to be uniform and defined absolutely and exclusively through Christianity. This ensured that people offered their blind conformity to the rules of law and civility. Among these times, one man stood up and challenged the entire system of a nation. Professing that morality was not absolute, but a shade of gray, he urged people to not rely on religion to dictate their lives but to define it themselves. He challenged people to dream, be bold, and not be afraid to think differently and follow their own individual path. This book explores the life and works of Friedrich Nietzsche.
Nietzsche was born into a religious household but swayed away from thinking that people should not have ambitions. He invented the concept of the ubermensch, or superman, as someone who went against the grain to discover life for themselves without relying on God to define it for them.
He spent his entire life trying to find a philosophy that would hold his ideals as indelible standards. He was the subject of much derision and contempt, but today he is a hero philosopher. His childhood home is preserved as a museum in his honor. But who really was the man and what did he really think about?
