With his brilliant intellect, he became a professor of philology at the University of Basel at a very young age. Despite battling severe physical illnesses, migraine attacks, and loneliness throughout his life, he authored some of the most profound and life-affirming works in the history of philosophy. He rejected traditional morality, religion, and Western rationalism, deeming them sickly. He foresaw the crisis of nihilism and formulated the concepts of 'Will to Power,' 'Übermensch,' and 'Eternal Recurrence' to overcome it. He suffered a mental breakdown in 1889 and spent the last 11 years of his life in silence.
