Brief biography of F Nietzsche

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche - gg. Born in the family of a rustic pastor in a small village of Revken on the border of Prussia and Silesia. After graduating from the gymnasium, he entered a prestigious professional school near Naumburgh - a closed educational institution for children from aristocratic families. There he wrote his first essay - “On music”, which immediately allowed him to advance to the number of the best students.

Further, he continues to educate Bonn and Leipzig universities. Already his student scientific works were so interesting in the content and depth of analysis that the professors attracted the attention of the professors. After graduating from the university, he is offered the position of professor of classical philosophy of Basel University. Soon, the young scientist was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy without prior defense of the dissertation, based on only magazine articles.

Even at the university, Nietzsche met with the largest German composer R. Wagner's music made on Nietzsche the same stunning impression as on Wagner - the works of Nietzsche. Although Nietzsche went down in the history of world culture primarily as a philosopher, he himself considered himself a musician. Even about his works, Nietzsche once wrote that it was "music, accidentally recorded not by notes, but with words." A passion for music arose in his early childhood and passed through his whole life.

But this was not only a thirst for composing or listening - Nietzsche was a musician in a different, broader sense of the word: the music for him was a synonym for the highest principle in art.

During the Franco-Prussian War-GG. Nietzsche ensured that he was sent to the front as a orderly, but almost immediately after arrival he fell ill and ended up in the hospital. Nietzsche, who has not recalled the disease, has to leave teaching. The stronger his mental illness progressed, the more violently resisted her Nietzsche and the more cheerfully his works and letters became.

Suffering from the disease, he nevertheless writes the book with the amazing name - “Fun Science”, and after it - the musical composition “Anthem of Life”. These works have become a kind of prologue to one of its main works - "so Zarathustra said." For the past nine years, Nietzsche could no longer work and conducted in a stubborn struggle with the disease. He died in Weimar on August 25.
