Coincidentally, he was born on the same day as King Friedrich Wilhelm IV's birthday, that's why his parents named him Friedrich. Friedrich grew up in a religious and Protestant family. His father was a pastor and his grandfather was a fan of the Martin Luther King school and wrote a book about it. His father had a very severe mental illness and he suffered greatly from this illness. For the last one year, this illness had cut off his father's safety until he finally passed away. In 1849, Friedrich's younger brother, Ludwig, also died when he was only two years old. By the time Nietzsche went to kindergarten, he had seen several deaths up close, and several of them were his loved ones. For this reason, he was a serious person from his childhood who did not joke with anyone. In terms of vision, he had weak eyes and had nearsightedness and constant headaches caused by a disease called myopia, for this reason he wore glasses from a very young age. Both his appearance and his behavior in his youth were similar to a professor, he seemed very mature and experienced for his age. These behaviors did not make him popular among his classmates, and on the other hand, he was not very successful in finding friends. Most of his childhood days were spent with women. His mother, his grandmother, his aunts, all of these played a role in the upbringing of Friedrich Nietzsche. In 1856, his sister Elisabeth and his mother moved to their home in Nuremberg, Germany. This house was the place where the most important works of Friedrich Nietzsche were created, this place is still standing today and is used as the Nietzsche Museum. Nietzsche entered a Christian school and then went to a boarding school. He didn't get good grades, but he didn't have a problem with tuition fees. His father left him a good inheritance and he could go to any university he wanted. He decided to study philosophy and theology at Bonn University. He wanted to become a priest like his father. But only after two semesters, he realized that his personal thoughts were distinctly different from the principles of theology, and he always argued and discussed with his professors. He moved to the University of Liezig and began to learn ancient languages ​​such as Ancient Latin and Ancient Greek. In his early youth, Nietzsche was diagnosed with syphilis, which was said to have been caused by sleeping with one of the women in a brothel. Because of this, in most cases, he felt physically weak and this weakness was with him until the end of his life. Syphilis in a dangerous state causes the infected person to go crazy, which eventually happened to Nietzsche. At that time, there was no cure for syphilis. Today, this disease is treated with penicillin, but this treatment did not exist until 1923, and it was after Nietzsche's time. Friedrich Nietzsche spent most of his free time listening to live operas and orchestras. Music had such a beautiful effect on Nietzsche that he forgot all his pains. At that time, Nietzsche was influenced by the works of the famous composer Richard Wagner and listened to each of Wagner's new works four to five times live. Nietzsche was deeply influenced by the characters in Wagner's operas, and eventually met Wagner himself. They became close friends, and Wagner somehow had Nietzsche's father status. When he was only one year old, he became a full-time professor at the University of Basel and started teaching the field of philology. He taught there for several years and finally said that he did not feel satisfied and happy in these classes. After school, he used to go to a hospital voluntarily to pass his time. Of course, he contracted dysentery and diphtheria due to contact with patients. Nietzsche's health was painfully declining day by day, so he slept in bed for several days and did not get up. In his early thirties, he decided to leave his job as a university professor and live on a small pension. For Nietzsche, survival itself was like fighting. He spends most of his time on the bed without doing anything special. The only thing he thought was the meaning of life and humanity. It was during this period that he started writing books on philosophy. Nietzsche's philosophy Nietzsche believed that there is no absolute truth. People should not believe what the church and political powers tell them. Today, these words have become clichés, but at that time, people had two situations, either they accepted something or they did not accept it, and there was no challenge in between. When he asked people to challenge everything and ask their questions and not simply accept anything, he actually created a new plan in this world and caused a hard-to-beli
