Friedrich Nietzsche became a professor in Basel at 24, but fragile health made him live as a wanderer across Europe. He announced the death of God and questioned the moral values inherited from Christianity. Writing in brilliant aphorisms, he influenced the philosophy, literature and psychology of the 20th century.
Core ideas
With the death of God, traditional values lose their foundation
There are no pure facts, only interpretations made from perspectives
Each person must create their own values and overcome themselves
The tradition: Perspectivist
Perspectivism is the idea that all knowledge is an interpretation made from some point of view, with no neutral view from nowhere. Nietzsche is its main author.
