What is the center of Nietzsche's philosophy?
Since a friend who studies Nietzsche has said that Nietzsche's philosophy has no center, I will follow his words (to some extent, I agree with his point of view). Because of the literary temperament of Nietzsche's works, it is difficult to boil down to a center or system, and even if it is sorted out, it is difficult to dig out all the profound and rich ideas, but this does not mean that we will not conclude or lose the right to understand the backbone of Nietzsche's philosophy in a conceptual way. Although Nietzsche's philosophy is rich in variety, its core concepts are still obvious.

Nietzsche's philosophy is deeply influenced by Schopenhauer's theory of will to live and pessimism as Nietzsche himself admits. The starting point of his research is to introduce the tragedy of life from the ancient Greek tragedy. However, he is not negative and pessimistic about this tragedy, but an optimistic and enterprising attitude, so that he turns Schopenhauer's will to live, which he tried to finally cancel, into a strong will symbolizing human freedom and meaning. Nietzsche wants to criticize the weakness brought by Europe's long-term nihilism by calling people's strong will. The strong will is actually the will of self-determination, self-overcoming, self-development and self-creation. With this strong will, it will naturally eliminate the morality and nihilism of the weak, re-evaluate all values, and criticize all moral thoughts that are not conducive to life with perspective. Nietzsche's strong will is constantly expanding, but his philosophy is generally destructive and critical. In order to improve his philosophy system of strong will, he also constructed the theory of "Superman" and the theory of "infinite return". However, "Superman" is only the direction that can only keep forging ahead and approaching, and the theory of "return" is also beyond history, so Nietzsche has hardly constructed anything new except methods and criticism. However, all this shows Nietzsche's intention to awaken people's subjectivity and creativity, criticize the value moral thought and abstract concept system that are divorced from life and even suppress life, and awaken people's deep motivation (Dionysian spirit). There is no doubt about this.

Of course, as the man upstairs said, Nietzsche's thought has many non-main places because of its particularity. It is in these places that later philosophers such as Freud, Dilthey, Jaspers, Heidegger, Foucault and Derrida benefited a lot. However, its philosophical main part around "strong will" around life is obviously more indelible, which is Nietzsche's original intention, and it has directly become the humanism of modern and contemporary western philosophy. Of course, it is useless to rely on me to say these things. The landlord can read the original work, and maybe he will gain new wisdom in the communication with the text.

All the above are personal opinions. If the landlord has different opinions, please kindly give me your advice.

PS: Since cwbk1987 hates "modesty", I'll just say what he wants. Now you pretend to be ignorant, thinking that the ignorant are fearless and criticize others with ignorance. I don't know that you are not as good as the camel with three changes in Nietzsche's spirit. You are just a truant, escapist and unreasonable Socrates. The spirituality and vitality of Nietzsche's thought can never be understood by you who are willing to understand. It must be completed by a powerful person who dares to explore the truth, knowing that it can't be done, which is a strong personality in Nietzsche's tragedy. Yes, we are far from Nietzsche's realm, but we can explore Nietzsche's philosophy. I don't think the questions raised by the landlord are meaningless and by no means lazy. On the contrary, it is laziest to hide in people who don't understand and doubt. He wants to rest in the arms of giants or make some unrealistic dreams. From this aspect, I think it is better for the downstairs person to restrain his personality or ignorance. Other things that are difficult to obey will not be publicized. I have left a message for him. If he thinks these questions are meaningless or even "fed up" with our advice, persuade him to leave Baidu. You know, the two sides are happy and quiet. I don't think anyone wants to continue this useless argument.
