Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher. His writing included critiques of religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, using a distinctive style and displaying a fondness for aphorism. Nietzsche’s influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism. He began his career as a philologist before turning to philosophy. At the age of 24 he became Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel, but resigned in 1879 due to health problems, which would plague him for most of his life. In 1889 he exhibited symptoms of serious mental illness, living out his remaining years in the care of his mother and sister until his death in 1900. His works include From my Life (1858), On Music (1858), Napoleon III as a President (1862), Free Willand Fate (1862), My Life (1864), The Birth of Tragedy (1872), Richard Wagner in Bayreuth (1876), Human, All-Too-Human (1878), Beyond Good and Evil (1886), The Antichrist (1888) and Ecce Homo (1888).

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German classical scholar, philosopher, and critic of culture, who became one of the most influential of all modern thinkers. He began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy. He became the youngest person to hold the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel in 1869 at the age of 24, but resigned in 1879 due to health problems that plagued him most of his life; he completed much of his core writing in the following decade. In 1889, at age 44, he suffered a collapse and afterward a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and probably vascular dementia. He lived his remaining years in the care of his mother until her death in 1897 and then with his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. Nietzsche died in 1900, after experiencing pneumonia and multiple strokes.
Nietzsche's work spans philosophical polemics, poetry, cultural criticism, and fiction while displaying a fondness for aphorism and irony. Prominent elements of his philosophy include his radical critique of truth in favour of perspectivism; a genealogical critique of religion and Christian morality and a related theory of master–slave morality; the aesthetic affirmation of life in response to both the "death of God" and the profound crisis of nihilism; the notion of Apollonian and Dionysian forces; and a characterisation of the human subject as the expression of competing wills, collectively understood as the will to power. He also developed influential concepts such as the Übermensch and his doctrine of eternal return. In his later work, he became increasingly preoccupied with the creative powers of the individual to overcome cultural and moral mores in pursuit of new values and aesthetic health. His body of work touched a wide range of topics, including art, philology, history, music, religion, tragedy, culture, and science, and drew inspiration from Greek tragedy as well as figures such as Zoroaster, Arthur Schopenhauer, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Richard Wagner, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
After his death, Nietzsche's sister Elisabeth became the curator and editor of his manuscripts. She edited his unpublished writings to fit her German ultranationalist ideology, often contradicting or obfuscating Nietzsche's stated opinions, which were explicitly opposed to antisemitism and nationalism. Through her published editions, Nietzsche's work became associated with fascism and Nazism. 20th-century scholars such as Walter Kaufmann, R.J. Hollingdale, and Georges Bataille defended Nietzsche against this interpretation, and corrected editions of his writings were soon made available. Nietzsche's thought enjoyed renewed popularity in the 1960s and his ideas have since had a profound impact on 20th- and early 21st-century thinkers across philosophy—especially in schools of continental philosophy such as existentialism, postmodernism, and post-structuralism—as well as art, literature, music, poetry, politics, and popular culture.

Okuduğum bir Nietzsche kitabını bitirebilme mutluluğu içindeyim. David Strauss'u biraz daha iyi bilmek belki metni daha kapsamlı okumama yardımcı olabilirdi ama bu hali ile de Nietzsche'nin derdini anlayabiliyorum. 19. yüzyılın yeni çiçek açmış kesimi aydını Nietzsche'ci bir perspektiften tanımak için iyi bir eser. Ayrıca ilk iki bölümdeki Almanya ve Fransa kıyası tüylerimi iyi düşüncenin ışığıyla diken diken etti.

Humour, satire, and a good analytical viewpoint as always.
For people who want to escape all of the critical storm on the Strauss ,, artwork " there is a full resume in the first 3 ch. , or till the 8th chapter. But actually there's a lot to learn from the meditation.
It depends on the translation as well, especially at the end.

Eleştirdiği kitabı okumadan anlamak zor biraz. Ben David Strauss'u sadece the life of Christ kitabıyla biliyordum. Nietasche'nin onu eleştirdiği noktayı anlamadıkta zorlandım. Mustafa Tüzel de yazarı iyi anlıyor, güzel kelimeler seçiyor ama biraz Türkçeye aktarırken kelimeye ek getirme problemi var gibi. Bazen nesne yönelme eki vesaire eksik kalmış

"Tarih belleğe, anın sürekliliğine dayanırken, yaşam unutuşta, şimdiki zamana tamamen dalmakta gelişir. Tarihselleştirilmiş yaşam susuz kalır, yıkılır, yoksullaşır, acı çeker, söner: Mutluluğu mutluluk yapan şey hep aynıdır: unutabilmek ya da daha bilgince bir anlatımla, mutluluk sürdükçe, tarihin dışındaymış gibi duyumsayabilmek"

لم أفهم شيء، لم أستطع قراءة أكثر من سطرين عشوائيين في كل صفحة، ماذا ضر لو كتب نيتشه او المترجم مقدمة أسهب عن شتراوس؟

وحتى لو كتبوا مقدمة، فهذا هبدٌ من نيتشه لهبدٍ من ديڤد شتراوس
