The Nietzsche-Haus is a house in Sils Maria in the Engadin region of Switzerland, where the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche lived during the summers of 1881 and from 1883 to 1888. [1] [2]
Friedrich Nietzsche rented a modest room in the Durisch family's house in the heart of Sils Maria for seven summers (1881 and 1883–88). [3] The nearly 200-year-old[ when? ] house was owned by the Durisch family and continued to be privately owned for many years after Nietzsche's visits. [1]
In 1958 the house was sold to the "Nietzsche House Sils-Maria Foundation", which had it renovated and opened a museum there on 25 August 1960, the 60th anniversary of Nietzsche's death. [1]
The museum contains five permanent exhibits, including a representation of the room Nietzsche rented from the Durischs, and a replica of his study in Basel. [3] There is a room devoted to Oscar Levy, who oversaw the first translation of Nietzsche's works into English, and one about Sils' literary connexions. Finally, there is a room which hosts temporary exhibitions including art exhibitions.
The Nietzsche-Haus possesses a library open to researchers that contains one of the world's largest multi-language collections of books on the philosopher. [4] The library also contains three collections of books that were donated to the library: Oscar Levy's collection; Hans Erich Lampl's collection (a Nietzsche scholar); and Albi Rosenthal's collection (an antiquarian bookseller). [4] It is possible for scholars to stay at the house for brief periods in order to consult the library.
Each year the museum hosts the Nietzsche Colloquium, for discussion about Nietzsche's work and impact.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, prose poet, cultural critic, philologist, and composer whose work has exerted a profound influence on contemporary philosophy. He began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy. He became the youngest person ever to hold the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel in 1869 at the age of 24. Nietzsche resigned in 1879 due to health problems that plagued him most of his life; he completed much of his core writing in the following decade. In 1889, at age 44, he suffered a collapse and afterward a complete loss of his mental faculties, with paralysis and probably vascular dementia. He lived his remaining years in the care of his mother until her death in 1897 and then with his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. Nietzsche died in 1900, after experiencing pneumonia and multiple strokes.

Perspectivism is the epistemological principle that perception of and knowledge of something are always bound to the interpretive perspectives of those observing it. While perspectivism does not regard all perspectives and interpretations as being of equal truth or value, it holds that no one has access to an absolute view of the world cut off from perspective. Instead, all such viewing occurs from some point of view which in turn affects how things are perceived. Rather than attempt to determine truth by correspondence to things outside any perspective, perspectivism thus generally seeks to determine truth by comparing and evaluating perspectives among themselves. Perspectivism may be regarded as an early form of epistemological pluralism, though in some accounts includes treatment of value theory, moral psychology, and realist metaphysics.
The Will to Power is a book of notes drawn from the literary remains of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche by his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche and Peter Gast.
