There are a great many young men who know little about philosophy now in China. The modern times seem to have discarded philosophy. People fill empty with empty. The same in the Westen World? Which philosopher do you think is most admired in the western world?

Appreciate very much the main philosopher of the 20th century, Nietzsche, who is voluntarism. The thought of his Superman has great impacted to the generations' philosophy, thinking, literature and art. He is the most influental Philosophy Master in the modern and the contemporary. One of his sentence has left a deep impression to me: If you would go up high, then use your own legs! Do not let yourselves carried aloft, do not seat yourselves on other people's backs and heads. Do you admire him also? A nice discussion, have a good day!

Yeah, I also admire Nietzsche very much. Nietzsche is a genius but never has a genius paid such price for his talent as Nietzsche has. Alas! Abrat.
