Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a famous and influential

Nietzsche is famous as a precursor of existentialism; his rejection of what he calls "slave morality" or altruism; his vigorous attacks on Christianity; his embrace of a sort of irrationalism?; and something he called TheWillToPower.
