Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, cultural critic, composer, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar whose work has exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history.

Nietzsche's philosophy is characterized by its radical questioning of traditional morality, religion, and metaphysics.
