Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844 August 25, 1900), a German philologist and philosopher, produced critiques of religion, morality, contemporary culture, and philosophy, centered around what he viewed as a fundamental question regarding the life-affirming and life-denying qualities of different attitudes and beliefs. Nietzsche's works feature unique, free-form stylization combined with a wide philosophical breadth through the use of (for example) logical rigor, etymology, punning, parables, paradoxes, and contradictions, employed to demonstrate the inadequacies of normative modes of thought.
