Friedrich Nietzsche

Friederick Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher. His writings touched on perspective, moral values, and included the repeated declaration that "God is dead."
Nietzche's work influenced not only philosophers but playwrights, poets, and composers (Richard Strauss's "Also sprach Zarathustra" was based on the philosopher's book of the same title). Less enthusiastic was Jeeves, who in the 1916 story "Jeeves Takes Charge," declares Nietzsche's philosophy to be "fundamentally unsound."
