To most, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche is simply known
as “that-‘God-is-dead’-guy.”
While he did in fact first proclaim that with a roar in his 1882 work The Gay Science, it’s important to give equal attention to his critiques of morality, religion, and art, and to recognize the impact they had on Western philosophical thought. Whether this influence was for better or worse, well, it really depends on who you ask.
