The philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche turned the generally accepted values of modern, Western society upside down--religious, spiritual, moral, ethical, and Christian presumptions were all questioned, tested, and cast aside as, ultimately, useless to man and his ascension to a higher purpose: a more self-actualized awareness of the universe, and the meaning of his birth and ultimate demise.

He ascended the ranks of academia early, becoming a professor at the age of twenty-four, with a keen interest in philosophy, as well as philology. His friendship with composer Richard Wagner ended in 1876, with Nietzsche writing a scathing critique of the composer and his spiritual influence. In short order, a succession of major philosophic works followed, including, "The Birth of Tragedy," "Thus Spake Zarathustra," "Twilight of the Idols," and "Human, All Too Human. " He died in an asylum in 1900. He was 55 years old.
