Friedrich Nietzsche --

Abstract: This 12 page report discusses the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) who was fully convinced that one of the most destructive characteristic of Western culture is the self-deception caused by religion. One of Nietszche's fundamental contentions was that traditional values (represented primarily by Christianity) had lost their power in the lives of individuals. Art cannot flourish in such a situation and can only flow forth freely in the absence of religious constraints. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
