Friederich Nietzsche

Born 15 October 1844 and died 25 August 1900 (aged 55)

Friederich Nietzsche is an important german philosopher born in Röcken, Saxony, Prussia in 1844. His idea’s had a large impact on following philosphers and he is considered one of the great philosophers.

His idea of “Ja zum leben”, “Yes to life” applies perfectly to ‘Life is a game, pay it well’. The idea expresses positivity towards life and action in life. Very contrasting to Nietzshe’s nihilism, which expressed the lack of purpose in life. Combining these idea’s comes to the current conclusion. Life has no real purpose, but that doesn’t mean you should just give up. Make the best of life, enjoy it, ‘play’ it well.
