Friedrich Nietzsche was born in 1844 in the town of Röcken near Leipzig in the family of a hereditary priest, so Nietzsche's childhood passed in an atmosphere of faith and religiosity.
Already in 1849, the boy loses his father, and about six months later, his younger brother dies. These tragedies had a significant impact on the attitude of the future philosopher.
In 1850 he entered the city school for boys.
In the period from 1854 to 1858 he continued his education at the Naumburg
In 1850 he entered the city school for boys.
In the period from 1854 to 1858 he continued his education at the Naumburg Gymnasium. Nietzsche enjoys prestige with his high school comrades, learns to play the piano, and also shows considerable ability in philology. And on October 6, 1858, he entered the famous Pfort school (near Naumburg), where he began to write poetry and created a short essay "On Music".
From 1862, Nietzsche began to suffer from headaches, which became the first signs of an illness that led to death.
In 1862-65 he studied at the University of Bonn, where he studied theology and philology. In the autumn of 1865 he moved to the University of Leipzig, where he continued to study literature. There, Nietzsche first got acquainted with the works of Schopenhauer, which had a huge influence on him.
In 1867 he was called up for military service, but in March of the following year he was seriously injured and was released into the reserve.
1869 was an outstanding year for Nietzsche in terms of scientific success: in February he was invited to a professorship at the University of Basel before he defended his Ph. ".
In 1870, he took part in the Franco-Prussian war, which left the most difficult consequences both physically and psychologically: neither a calm sleep nor a balanced state of health ever returned to him.
After Nietzsche suffered severe dysentery and diphtheria, after which he returned to teaching, which he was often forced to interrupt due to health problems.
In 1879 he left his teaching career.
In 1888, the first signs of a mental disorder appear, which take on a definitive character after an apoplexy in January 1889. Nietzsche was placed in a psychiatric clinic. When in 1890 there was some improvement in the patient's condition, his mother was able to take him home.
