=== Pessimism ===
''See also:'' [[Atheism, agnosticism and pessimism]]
The ''Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' says about Nietzsche's pessimism:
{{Cquote|That Nietzsche could not countenance Schopenhauer’s “ethical pessimism” and its negation of the will was recognized by the young man quite early during this encounter. Yet, even in Nietzsche’s attempts to construct a counter-posed “pessimism of strength” affirming the will, much of Schopenhauer’s thought remained embedded in Nietzsche’s philosophy, particularly during the early period. Nietzsche’s philosophical reliance on “genius”, his cultural-political visions of rank and order through merit, and his self-described (and later self-rebuked) “[[metaphysics]] of art” all had Schopenhauerian underpinnings. Also, Birth of Tragedy’s well-known dualism between the cosmological/aesthetic principles of [[Dionysus]] and [[Apollo (mythology)|Apollo]], contesting and complimenting each other in the tragic play of chaos and order, confusion and individuation, strikes a familiar chord to readers acquainted with Schopenhauer’s description of the world as “will” and “representation.”<ref>[http://www.iep.utm.edu/nietzsch/ Friedrich Nietzsche], ''Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy''</ref>}}
