Author description

Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) was the son of a Lutheran pastor who challenged Christian morality and values. Nietzsche believed in the realities of the world we live in rather than those in a world beyond. His philosophy centred on the idea of 'self-affirmation' which involved a radical re-assessment of the value and objectivity of truth.
