The correct spelling of the German philosopher's name is "Nietzsche" /ˈniːtʃə/. The "H" in "Hietzsche" is not needed, and it changes the pronunciation of the name. The word "Nietzsche" is pronounced with a long "ee" sound (/iː/) and a "ch" sound (/tʃ/), not a "k" sound like in the word "knight". Remembering the correct spelling and pronunciation of names is important in accurately conveying information and showing respect to individuals.
