1) Knee-cheh.

2) a) overman/perpetual self-overcoming/ will to power
b) master and slave morality
c) eternal recurrence mixed with Amor Fati
d) attack on traditional notion of free will
e) the 'death' of god and re-evaluation of all values in the face of nihilism. the courage to do this in the face of nihilism.
f) his perspectivism rather than having a general all-encompassing metaphysical theory that purports to explain everything
g) all instincts not given expression turn inwards and become destructive so instead they can be sublimated and channelled creatively. (eat your heart out Freud) this is sometimes described as Dionysian.
h) anti-nationalism, anti-racism, anti-anti-semitism, anti-fascism,
i) his style. recaptured the idea that a philosopher can write with wit, best philosophical writer since Plato. Wanted to write in such a way to inspire people to go out find for themselves rather than didactically saying follow me I know the way. his intention was to provoke and agitate others to discover for themselves.
j) anti-romanticism--focus is on this life and this reality, not the next life, or previous life, or the 'deeper' and 'hidden' reality.

and lots more...
