Friedrich Nietzsche
1844 – 1900 · German Philosopher
Nietzsche wrote in isolation, in chronic pain, largely ignored by the academic establishment, and produced ideas that detonated across the twentieth century. He declared God dead not in celebration but as a warning, and argued that suffering is not the enemy of meaning but its raw material.
