Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, cultural critic, composer, poet, and philologist and is considered as one of the greatest and most unusual thinkers of all time. He was one of the precursors of existentialism. Existentialism is more a cultural movement rather than a philosophical one, which considers that freedom is at the core of human existence, all human values should be based on it and, moreover, existentialism affirms “the categorical moral imperative of authenticity”. In line with the theory of existentialism, Nietzsche talked about the importance of having an authentic life. In existentialism, authenticity is the degree to which a person's actions are in line with their beliefs and desires, despite the pressure from society to behave in one way or another. Nietzsche emphasized having the courage to be authentic and to fight against the tyranny of popular beliefs.

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, poet, essayist, and cultural critic. He is considered to be one of the most daring and greatest thinkers of all time. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. He was one of the biggest precursors of existentialism, which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent, determining their own development through acts of will. By his famous words “God is dead!”, Nietzsche moved the focus of philosophy from metaphysics to the material world and to the individual as a responsible person for his own life. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote several books like The Birth of a Tragedy, Human, All Too Human, The Dawn, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, The Will to Power, The Antichrist, and many more. His teachings have shaped the lives of many people; from psychologists to poets, dancers to social revolutionaries.
