Friedrich Nietzsche

On the Future of our Educational Institutions (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is designed for those who have not yet been lured into the wild rush of our hurry-skurrying period, and who do not find idolatrous pleasure in flinging themselves beneath its chariot-wheels. It is consequently for males who are not accustomed to valuing everything in terms of how much time it saves or wastes. In a nutshell, it is for a select few. These, we believe, "still have time." Without any pangs of conscience, they may spend the most fertile and robust hours of their day pondering the future of our education; they may even believe when the evening comes that they have utilised their day in the most respectable and beneficial way.

Autorenporträt

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, born on October 15, 1844, in Röcken, Prussia, was a German philosopher and classical philologist whose ideas profoundly influenced modern intellectual history. At 24, he became the youngest individual to hold the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel in Switzerland. However, due to persistent health issues, he resigned in 1879 and dedicated the next decade to his philosophical writings.Nietzsche's work is characterized by a radical critique of traditional values and a deep exploration of human existence. He introduced influential concepts such as the "will to power," the "Übermensch," and the proclamation that "God is dead," challenging the foundations of religion, morality, and culture. His distinctive style, marked by aphorisms and irony, set his writings apart from those of his contemporaries.In 1889, Nietzsche suffered a mental collapse, leading to a complete loss of his cognitive faculties, likely due to vascular dementia. He spent his remaining years under the care of his mother and later his sister, Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, until his death on August 25, 1900, in Weimar, Germany. Posthumously, his sister edited and published his works, sometimes controversially, influencing the interpretation and reception of his philosophy.
