Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy profoundly challenged conventional morality, particularly through his critique of traditional values and beliefs. He questioned the foundations of moral systems that prioritize self-denial, arguing for the embrace of life-affirming values. Nietzsche introduced concepts like the Übermensch and will to power, advocating for individualism and self-overcoming as pathways to personal fulfillment. His provocative ideas encouraged a reevaluation of ethical frameworks, leading to discussions on existentialism and the nature of truth and morality.
