However, remember that he died of a mental illness said to be brought on by either syphilis or a mental breakdown..

Answer 2

You should know that the definitions of good and evil are getting more and more vague. It is a decadence of morals. Even looking back in history, you can think it out of your own. The Crusaders thought they were armies of God, but to Muslims, they are just a group of irresonable thieves justifying themselves in the name of God. Also, there's another example. Do you think killing is bad? I don't think so. What is wrong with the strong dominating the weak? It is the law of nature. Don't get me wrong, I'd never go out and kill somebody on my own because it's against the society. In the human society full with men made morals, killing is bad. But in the wild, it's not. Why? Because there WASN'T such thing as good or bad, it's just how we perceive.

Answer 3

I don't know enough about Nietzsche's influences to give you a reliable answer. Now that I've given my disclaimer, I've heard the theory that he was influenced by Max Stirner's "The Ego and Its Own."

Answer 4

Try the Psychology section. He was abused as a child, grew up in a home with mean women; he was brilliant but had some serious PTSD and I don't know the timeline as far as when he wrote this and when the syphilis got to his brain. I love the man, don't get me wrong, he just couldn't get a break.
