Nietzsche's was 1st & foremost a philosophy of morality.
Neitzche once wrote “He who strays from tradition becomes a sacrifice to the extraordinary.” It might be said that this was a reflection of himself. Obviously a true romantic, his love for nature and humanity, even the sheer disgust he had for Christianity. All of his essays and writings represent his strong feelings about Romanticism. Frederich Neitzche was best known for his observations of humankind and their nature. It was commendable that he was passionate about his philosophical writings and his pre-Socratic thinking. Neitzche wrote about everything from life to death, and everything he wrote held a special importance to him.
Neitzche felt strongly about everything he said, but there was nothing he loved more then the beauty of nature. He spent time in the mountains because he found it serene and comforting. He wrote, “Out in nature. We like to be out in nature so much because it has no opinion about us.” (Human, All Too Human: Man alone with Himself 508). Nature was an escape, he found it so beautiful. It was a natural beauty unlike the common world around him. Since he was very lonely, it made him feel at peace.
What made Neitzche stand out from any other romantic is how he could see human as either completely corrupt or utterly admirable, and each one he knew was correct though it seems an oxymoron. Neitzche also found the common people as just as important if not more so than the upper classes of the world. He valued nobility of the mind above all. Neitzche said, “To a great degree nobility of the mind consists of good nature and a lack of distrust, and thus contains exactly that which acquisitive and successful people so like to treat with superiority and scorn.” In other words, people that acquire nobility of the mind are good natured and trusting people, which is exactly what people of a higher status look down upon.
