Features: The world has had mixed opinions about Nietzsche, with great ups and downs. To the Nazis, Nietzsche was a militarist and an anti-Semite; to the liberals, Nietzsche was an advocate of individual supremacy; to those clinging to tradition, Nietzsche was a destroyer, advocating the use of a hammer to shatter all idols and traditions; to devout religious figures, Nietzsche was a dangerous heretic. The existentialist master Heidegger said: Nietzsche was the last metaphysician, and traditional metaphysics came to an end with Nietzsche.
