Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a moral philosopher from Germany. Many of Nietzsche's family members were in the clergy and it was assumed that Friedrich himself would become a minister.
Though as a child, Friedrich Nietzsche followed in the religious footsteps of his family, he grew older and found new forms of philosophy which soon preoccupied him. He began to criticize Christianity and develop his own ideas.
