Abstract
Philosophy was once considered as an authority that could guide and command people in various spheres of life. However, by the end of the nineteenth century, philosophy no longer enjoyed the place of an authority and science replaced it as the new authority. Nietzsche has criticized this change and asserted that philosophy as the study of whole being, should be restored to its proper place. Nietzsche expressed his ideas about the role of a philosopher in guiding a civilization, a century ago. His ideas about the role of a philosopher, who a philosopher is, what kind of difficulties lie between him and his tasks and what eventually is the task of a philosopher are very much needed in the 21st century and bear a universal meaning. This article reviews Nietzsche’s ideas on philosophy and philosopher in general.
