  • Philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche stayed in this summer house 1881-1888 in Sils Maria, Upper Engadine, Switzerland, the Alps, Europe. Nietzsche (1844-1900) was a German philosopher, poet, composer and classical philologist. He wrote critical texts on religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy and science, displaying a fondness for metaphor, irony and aphorism. His central philosophy of "life-affirmation" involves an honest questioning of social doctrines that drain life's expansive energies. Nietzsche still influences existentialism, nihilism, and postmodernism with key ideas such as the death of God, perspectivism, the Übermensch, the eternal recurrence, and the will to power.
