What if Friedrich Nietzsche wasn’t the dark, nihilistic philosopher you were warned about—but one of humanity’s greatest guides to meaning, courage, and self-overcoming?

In this deep, cinematic long-form episode of Philosophy for Better Humans, we explore the complete philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche—his biggest ideas, his most misunderstood concepts, and why modern philosophers, psychologists, and cultural thinkers still return to him today.

This episode walks through Nietzsche’s core ideas, including:

• The death of God and the crisis of meaning
• Nihilism and how to overcome it
• The will to power (and what it really means)
• Master vs. slave morality and resentment culture

• Eternal recurrence as a psychological test of your life
• Amor fati — learning to love your fate
• Truth, perspectivism, and power
• Why Nietzsche was misused by the Nazis and misunderstood by pop culture
• How thinkers like Foucault, Deleuze, Paglia, and Jordan Peterson engage with Nietzsche
