Here are the most popular Friedrich Nietzsche quotes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Largely known for his and relentless criticism of traditional religion and morality, Nietzsche was part of a group of thinkers that was suspicious against traditional ethics and values. He sought to promote new values that would nurture the renewal and improvement of human life.<\/p>\n

Interpreters of his writings consider Nietzsche as an author who embraced nihilism because of his thoughts on the death of God. His works attempt to explore human existence and called for a rethinking of the established views of morality and knowledge.<\/p>\n

Through the continued struggle with one\u2019s intellectual and psychological faculties, Nietzsche drew out a plan for becoming an exemplary human being. In line with this thinking, Friedrich Nietzsche proposed that this super-man would have to come about by means of self-realization without the reliance on transcendental ideas such as God.<\/p>\n
