The small town called Rock in Prussia in 1844 (now Germany) very near Lützen, is famous for two circumstances that combines history, was a battleground for more than two hundred years (of the Thirty Years War in 1600 and the Napoleonic Wars in 1800) and was the birthplace, a year 15 October above, an intellectual warrior will struggle to madness against the ideas of his time: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche. Marked
mysterious circumstances by spinning the pendulum of life from one extreme to another, Friederich, which would sentence in his "death of God", was born into an extremely religious family where his two grandparents and even your father were pastors. Just to underline the extreme, let that his paternal grandfather, also named Friedrich Nietzsche was the ultimate responsibility in the region of Reformed Churches and published a paper that only the irony of fate can look today with a mischievous smile in perspective by the revolution in the beliefs that led to his grandson . The pompous title of the work of Nietzsche grandfather was: "On the duration of the Christian life for instruction and quiet in the current turmoil of the theological world" ...
Friedrich's childhood was tormented and suffering followed closely: the five years, and in less than six months had faced the death of two of her closest loved ones: his father, Rocken the youth pastor, Don Carl Nietzsche Ludwigg 35 years of age, and younger brother Ludwig Joseph of two years. The paternal grandmother, Erdmuthe, virtually became head of his family (mother of Friederich, Franzisca married at age 17 and since then accepted the dominant role of her mother) and family decided to move to the city of Naumburg, This also impacted strongly on Friederich that at 7 years was without father or his brother and not his house and field to find ways of sudden, in the municipal school of this city, with new partners with whom wanted little to do and where the constant search of solitude and contact managed to calm down with nature. Thus the small Friederich found alternatives in music (he was a virtuoso and passionate of the discipline), literature (the writing of essays and books shows exquisite touches of pen) and the small but loyal friendship (which was essentially based intellects sharing). His mother, amazed at his talents bent by his love of music and bought him a piano Friederich served to grow their passion and ability. With his friends, and families of them grew culturally Firederich: knew the works of Schumann, Mendelssohn, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and read everything in its path falling in love Goethe and especially of the classical Greeks, who studied, played and dominated as only an extraordinary mind as it can. With effort and dedication (Friederich wanted to study at the highest levels available because that bored him not to go to the heart of his favorite subjects) came to get a place at elite school where he began his vocation Schulpforta with philology (the science that studies the origin of language) which led him to continue with the reading of all books and begin with his writings in the association "Germania" (which created a couple of close friends in school.) A After receiving a bachelor's degree in 1864 he decided to deepen and study classical philology as a science to be received at the University of Leipzig. It is in this city where he meets Schopenhauer books (is struck especially by "The World as Will and Representation") who strongly influenced his interest in philosophy and unwavering commitment to the truth. It is for that time that Nietzsche breaks with the religion to realize that it is incompatible with science and reason out of emotion. Was not this a decision that cost him but his mind made him the unwavering commitment to jump on their family tradition and fight for the truth of all knew that his great brain. In 1868 he met a talent unequaled in the world of music: the great Richard Wagner, who immediately generates a significant empathy. His admiration for the musician is paid by the interest of Wagner, and his young wife, by the writings of the young Nietzsche. It opens a possibility at the University of Basel and 24 years (breaking all the protocols of the time) was appointed professor in the Department of Philology, a circumstance which naturally causes resentment in the local academic youth aware of the new Professor Nietzsche. Begin a lifetime of study and dedication to his chair and philosophical research and writing essays and works (at this stage arise "The Birth of Tragedy" and the first "Untimely Meditations"). Were ten years as owner of his chair at Basel he took much effort. His health, never good, began to crumble, with severe headaches, insomnia and seizures that doctors could not alleviate. Nietzsche finds a solution to their physical conditions in certain areas warm summer climates that allow you to be better. It becomes a pilgrim, isolated in their speculations, continues its work (in 1882 wrote The Gay Science and in 1883 "Thus spake Zaratrustra). For summer of those she met Lou Salomé, a young Russian woman of talent (that life will be close to both Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud), who will be mad and disappointed at different times of his life. Lou was a companion of a great friend of Nietzsche, Paul Ree and decide to live a season together in a group they called "Trinity" and ended with jealousy and resentment that Firederich left alone in 1883. In that year he began to publish "Thus Spake Zarathustra" to continue in 1886 with "Beyond Good and Evil" and the following year "The Genealogy of Morals." His physical ailments, his pilgrimage the mountain in search of places to assuage their torments, his life in the dark for the huge inconvenience that caused the light, his "philosophy of the hammer" against everything that had no solid foundation, made the last years of an ordeal Friederich . In 1889, the year he was born Adolf Hitler, Nietzsche lose at trial, her mother cares for him until his sister Elizabeth moved to Weimar (and appears to become owner of his work, and publishing anti-Semitic twist it works with corrections to the loyal secretary and friend of Friedrich, Ritschlm not allowed). The great Friederich dies August 25, 1900, and began a different stage in the thought of us all that even touched by his genius and strength. Here begins the best ... will be three.
