Friedrich Nietzsche gilt bis heute als Spitze der philosophischen Nahrungskette. Sein umfassendes Werk deckt wissenschaftliche, künstlerische, philosophische und philologische Schriften ab. Nietzsche beeinflusste Maler, Literaten, Musiker, Wissenschaftler und Künstler aller sogenannten Genres und birgt nach wie vor gesellschaftliches Dynamit.
