The late philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 – 1900) (One of the key tenets of his philosophy is the concept of "life-affirmation," which embraces the realities of the world in which we live over the idea of a world beyond. It further champions the creative powers of the individual to strive beyond social, cultural, and moral contexts. Nietzsche's attitude towards religion and morality was marked with atheism, psychologism and historicism; he considered them to be human creations loaded with the error of confusing cause and effect.)
