Who is Friedrich Nietzsche?

Friedrich Nietzsche born at Röcken in the outskirts of Lützen, province of Saxony to Franziska Nietzsche, née Oehler, and Carl Ludwig Nietzsche, a pastor, who names his son after King Friedrich William IV of Prussia. Nietzsche was a star pupil of philology, and his professor recommended him for a university appointment at the University of Basel in 1869. Nietzsche was awarded a doctorate degree and became a professor of classical philology. Nietzsche began to incorporate philosophy into his lectures at the university after he encountered the works of Arthur Schopenhauer. He became engrossed in philosophy, focusing particularly on the Greek philosophers Aristotle and Plato. Nietzsche wrote his first book, The Birth of Tragedy, in 1872. Health problems lead to Nietzsche’s resignation from the University of Basil in 1879. Nietzsche wrote ten books over the course of the next ten years until he suffered a mental breakdown in 1889. The rest of his life was spent in the care of his mother and sister, until he died August 25, 1900.
