Nietzsche may have been going ina different direction before he went insane in 1888. He was influenced by reading Dostoyevsky, who was a strong believer. He read translations of Crime and Punishment and Notes From the Underground. He went insane in Turin, Italy. It started when he saw a horse being whipped, and , obviously inspired by Raskolnikov's actions in the book, he threw himself on the horse. If only he had been able to get a translation of The Brothers Karamazov!

Nietzsche said he learned all he knew about psychology from Dostoyevsky!
