I certainly agree with Nietzsche. There is a big difference when one acts on something and he did not know and then he succeed than a person who really knows what he is doing and pursue his action no matter how difficult it is. Nietzsche had said this because in his own time he knew that there is something wrong in the values and cultures of Europe. He saw Europe in its decline. In this way, he philosophizes through his writings and people took him misunderstood. Despite this criticism, he pursue his desire to reveal what is really happening in the 19th century Europe. That is why he said that what does not destroy me makes me stronger.
Now, Nietzsche becomes very influential in the 20th century philosophy and considered as the father of post modernity. He is considered as the philosopher's philosopher because in different fields, he has something to say that has a great impact on them whether they know it consciously or unconsciously.
Nietzsche was also an attack philosopher and his almost find joy in attacking different system such as rationalism, empiricism and many other systems of belief. He destroys the ideologies in the ancient time and even the traditional speculative philosophy of the ancient time. He showed that they are no longer believable in the present time.
How do you know him? Have you read his book?
