E.N.Zietsch beat Friedrich the philosopher? (9)

I believe the answer is:

nietzsche

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the philosopher?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'e n zietsch beat' is the wordplay.
'beat' indicates an anagram.
'e'+'n'+'zietsch'='enzietsch'
'enzietsch' anagrammed gives 'NIETZSCHE'.

'friedrich' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nietzsche that I've seen before include "Influential German existentialist philosopher" , "Friedrich -, nineteenth century German philosopher" , "German philosopher, wrote Beyond Good and Evil" , "German poet" , "19th century German philosopher who divided mankind into master class and herd" .)
