Get the Nietzsche mug.
A so-called philosopher, active in the second half of the 19th Century. Doesn't count as a philosopher, due to lack of systematic rigour or analytical methodology. His writings are often opaque, but seem to be concerned primarily with bunnies.

Get the Nietzsche mug.
An insane, Polish-German anarchist philosopher from the 19th century. He is a very misunderstood figure and his books should probably be banned world-wide, as they are very dangerous.

Nietzsche was possibly bisexual and possibly a closeted pedophile. He caught syphilis from a prostitute while he was a teenager and went insane later in life.

Basically, he believed that the ideal humans, the Ubermensch were a peoples that rose above all forms of morality and standards and other races. He believed that humans were inherently evil by birth and that good and bad and emotions are only constructs. Basically, he was a psychopath and a wackjob in disguise as a philosopher. To sum it up: his philosophy is about how to be a parasite and a bloodsucker and deceive your way to power.

He hated philosophers like Plato; whom could be called the antithesis of his philosophy. He believed that human beings created morals as a way to beguile their way to power. Essentially; he believed that there was no such thing as good in the world; and would be an apologist for people such as criminals, child killers and pedophiles, and other scum. He believed that Greco-Romans, or people who seek justice or truth, were Last men, or Untermensch.
Example of Nietzsche's philosophy, If you've played videos games:

The Ubermensch is actually the games: Halo or Doom

But some people mistakenly believe that Nietzsche is: Final Fantasy or the Legend of Zelda (which is actually Plato's philosophy.)

Get the Nietzsche mug.
19th century philosopher and perennial madman heralded as a christ-like figure by other small-time madmen.

He'd spend most of his time climbing the swiss alps and enjoying Der Scënery and writing allusions to Diogenes that only dozens may read in his lifetime; caught syphilis from some hooker in Leipzig.
most dilettantes who claim to know Nietzsche pulls out his famous saying, "God is Dead", without ever knowing the more prolific theme he presents to us over and over again in his works: WILL TO POWER. that is to say, "jocking dem bitchez; slappin' dem hoes", if you will.
