Friedrich Nietzsche was not a professional philosopher - rather, a thinker, poet, philologist. There was practically no logic in his approach - there was only the passion of real creativity.
Nietzsche never called for pushing the weak; moreover, the theory of the superman did not imply the triumph of some over others, but the victory of the creative principle over the destructive, animal one. In fact, Nietzsche completely denied aggression. In his view, a person could only overcome himself.

Sources(books, films, pro-iz-ve-de-ni-ya, etc.) with quotes from Friedrich Nietzsche about the author
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (German Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, IPA: [?f?i?d??? ?v?lh?lm ?ni?t??]; October 15, 1844 (18441015), Röcken , Prussia - August 25, 1900, Weimar, Germany) - German philosopher, poet, composer, cultural critic, representative of irrationalism. He sharply criticized the religion, culture and morality of his time and developed his own ethical theory. Nietzsche was a literary rather than an academic philosopher, and his writings are aphoristic in nature. Nietzsche's philosophy had a great influence on the formation of existentialism and postmodernism, and also became very popular in literary and artistic circles. The interpretation of his works is quite difficult and still causes a lot of controversy.
Born in Röcken (near Leipzig, eastern Germany), the son of Lutheran pastor Carl Ludwig Nietzsche (1813-1849). While studying at the gymnasium, he showed significant abilities in philology and music. In 1864-69, Nietzsche studied theology and classical philology at the Universities of Bonn and Leipzig. During the same period, he became acquainted with the works of Schopenhauer and became a fan of his philosophy. Nietzsche's development was also favorably influenced by his friendship with Richard Wagner, which lasted for many years. At the age of 23, he was drafted into the Prussian army and enlisted in the horse artillery, but was demobilized after being injured. Three years later, he would enthusiastically accept the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) and volunteer to go to the front.
Nietzsche was a brilliant student and gained an excellent reputation in scientific circles. Thanks to this, he already received the position of professor of classical philology at the University of Basel in 1869 (at the age of only 25 years). He worked there for about 10 years, despite numerous illnesses. The question of Nietzsche's citizenship still causes sharp controversy. According to some sources, he remained stateless after renouncing his Prussian citizenship in 1869; however, other sources state that Nietzsche became a Swiss citizen.
