Abstract

Friedrich Nietzsche, a 19th-century German philosopher, is renowned for his profound and controversial philosophical ideas that have had a significant influence on various fields, including psychology. This article delves into Nietzsche’s psychological views, emphasizing his perspectives on human nature, the will to power, and the concept of the Übermensch (Overman). We critically examine Nietzsche’s contributions to psychology and consider their relevance in contemporary psychological discourse.
