Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche is an extremely influential 19th-century German philosopher and protocel. While initially a nihilist, being a strong critic of traditional religion and other systems that propose an objective basis for morality, he eventually developed a "new" form of ethics based on overcoming weakness.https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nietzsche/https://medium.com/i-m-h-o/the-troubled-relationship-between-nietzsche-and-postmodernism-de6d4de8ef1d
His maxim of the eternal return posits that people should make decisions that result in a beautiful life that they would want to live for eternity.
==Failed Romantic life==
He was rebuffed by every woman he approached and never had a genuine romance.https://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1305/did-nietzsches-philosophy-arise-from-his-lack-of-success-with-women/ There have been predictable claims that he was homosexual in light of his lifelong bachelorhood, though there is no convincing textual or biographical evidence supporting this assertion.https://glreview.org/article/the-case-of-nietzsche/
=== Syphilis claims ===
Likely owing to the controversial nature of his philosophy, several wild claims about Nietzsche's sexuality were made after his death. 
One of the most prominent claims is the idea that his late-life insanity was attributable to syphilis induced dementia.https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv4ncnxx.16
In 1902 the German neurologist Paul Möbius published an influential but likely spurious case study of Nietzsche's mental health entitled "Nietzsche's Pathology" that claimed he died from syphilis he contracted from a hooker at a brothel.http://www.hunter.cuny.edu/jns/reviews/richard-schain.-the-legend-of-nietzsches-syphilisM/ 
Nietzsche did receive a contemporary diagnosis of advanced syphilis after a mental breakdown that resulted in his admission to a sanitarium in Switzerland.
Dr Leonard Sax, who authored a study regarding Nietzsche's death, has criticised this initial diagnosis. 
Sax concluded Nietzsche likely did not have syphilis as there were no tests for syphilis during his lifetime, and he did not exhibit most of the symptoms of late-term syphilis. Nietzsche also lived far longer after his 'diagnosis' than one would expect for a terminal syphilis patient (more than a decade).https://www.leonardsax.com/Nietzsche.pdf 
An autopsy was never conducted on his body, and thus the cause of his death is ultimately unknown.
In more recent times, this claim was echoed by the psychiatrist Wilhelm Lange-Eichbaum, a fierce critic of Nietzsche's life and work. Lange-Eichbaum claimed Nietzsche's philosophy deserved partial responsibility for crafting the ideological underpinning of the Nazi movement and the Holocaust, despite Nietzsche vocally being largely opposed to the anti-semites of his era and certain beliefs of the Völkisch nationalists of his time, including his sister Elisabeth, who notably attempted to create a 'racially pure' and 'Jew free' settler colony named Nueva Germania in Paraguay together with her husband Bernhard Förster.https://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/3313279/Madness-of-Nietzsche-was-cancer-not-syphilis.htmlhttps://reaction.life/elisabeth-nietzsche-nueva-germania/
=== Alleged incest ===
In 1951 a book was published entitled "My Sister and I" that was ostensibly based on a manuscript written by Nietzsche in 1889-1890 during his stay in a mental asylum. Written in a similar tone and style to his other works, the book claims that Nietzsche had an incestuous sexual relationship with his sister Elisabeth and an affair with Cosima Wagner, the famous German composer Richard Wagner's wife (the latter claim being mirrored elsewhere).
The work, sensational on its release, is widely considered to have been, in reality, authored by Nietzsche scholar Oscar Levy, though Levy's daughter denied this. The text contains several anachronisms that make it unlikely it was written by Nietzsche, and the text is generally dismissed by scholars as merely being a vulgar, pulpy forgery, though a minority claim it is authentic.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Sister_and_I_(Nietzsche)
=== Purported sexual relationship with Cosima Wagner ===
During his lifetime Nietzsche had a close personal relationship with the German composer Richard Wagner and his wife Cosima (the daughter of Hungarian composer Franz Liszt), a relationship that soured significantly towards the latter stages of his life.
Nietzsche engaged in heavy simping on behalf of Cosima, despite her being married, and frequently brought gifts for her, chaperoned her, and even wrote poems and love letters in her name, with Nietzsche later proclaiming Cosima as his "wife" during his delerium before his death.https://www.afr.com/politics/friedrich-nietzsche-and-cosima-wagner-19891117-k3pey
Nietzsche's clear romantic feelings for Cosima have led to claims that the relationship between the two was overtly adulterous, especially in light of the later fierce rivalry between Nietzsche and Richard Wagner. This rivalry was previously believed to be primarily brought about by Wagner's late-life Christian turn, as revealed by the Christian themes of his famous opera Parsifal, which irritated Nietzsche greatly, as he despised Christianity and its 'slave morality' exalting the weak and humble. Nietzsche accused Parsifal of resulting from Cosima's 'corruption' of her husband's worldview, indicating the ambivalent nature of his feelings towards her. 
Others have attributed the rupture in their previously close relationship to a letter Wagner wrote to a doctor (who later treated Nietzsche and revealed this to him) in which Wagner hypothesized that the cause of the various ailments that dogged Nietzsche throughout his life was chronic masturbation. The contents of this letter reportedly caused Nietzsche to erupt in a rage against Wagner.http://www.thenietzschechannel.com/correspondence/eng/nlett-1880.htm 
Cosima's private diaries reveal her initial polite fascination and later contempt concerning Nietzsche and do not provide any evidence of his romantic interest in her being reciprocated to any serious degree.http://www.thenietzschechannel.com/bio/cosima.htm
==Misogyny==
His writings contained many misogynistic phrases, some would argue stemming from the many rejections he experienced at the hands of women.
