FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE（1844-1900） was a 19th-century 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. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy， notably in existentialism， nihilism and postmodernism. His key ideas include the death of God， perspectives， the Ubermensch， the eternal recurrence， and the will to power.

THE GAY SCIENCF. （German： Die Froehlich Wissenschaft） is a book written by Friedrich Nietzsche， first published in 1882 and followed by a second edition， which was published after the completion of Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Beyond Good and Evil， in 1887. Here also is the first occurrence of the famous formulation "God is dead" After Buddha was dead， people showed his shadow for centuries afterwards in a cave，-an immense frightful shadow. God is dead; but as the human race /s constituted， there will perhaps be caves for rrullenniums yet， in which people wilt show his shadow.-And we-we have still to overcome his shadow!
