This has strangely become more important to me throughout my philosophy reading and occasional debates with a friend.

Actually, the "t" should be pronounced, so option 2 with the "t" after the "ee" and then the rest.

But the 'ch' sound is already a /tʃ/.

     I remember that it seemed like everyone used to say this. I did too, until my philosophy teacher explained to me that it should be option 2. The results of this poll are quite encouraging to me.

Having first encountered his name in Cyrillic lettering, I would say 'neets-sheh'.

I've also learned to pronounce it this way and this is how it should be pronounced by. But apparently in this case there is an exception to the rule and it should be pronounced with the s silent.
