'Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has, it has stolen'. (Friedrich Nietzsche). Karl Heckel ( 1858 - 1923 ) was a German writer and publisher and had personally met Friedrich Nietzsche. The significance of Nietzsche ( 1844 - 1900 ), which extends with great weight into contemporary philosophy, lies in his provocation. The break with all traditions, even to the point of absurdity, clearly shows the limits of reason. It is a rejection of any system, not rational reasoning, but the question of the existential experience of life, of the subjective perspective, of the interpretation of knowledge and thought.

To this day, there are ardent admirers and abysmal opponents or despisers among the recipients of his work.
