PROVOCATIVE THOUGHTS: Patric Standford (1939-2014). Photo © 2011 Sophie Standford
The late Patric Standford may have written these short pieces deliberately to provoke our feedback. If so, his success is reflected in the rich range of readers' comments appearing at the foot of most of the pages.

Friedrich Nietzsche

German philosopher, cultural critic, poet, composer and scholar Friedrich Nietzsche was born on 15 October 1844 and grew up in Röcken near Leipzig. He showed early talent in music and languages, and studied at Schulpforta and at the University of Bonn.

He was the youngest ever professor of classical philology at Basel in Switzerland. His work includes the philosophical novel Also sprach Zarathustra which inspired the tone poem by Richard Strauss.

Nietzsche died on 25 August 1900
