nietzsche overman definition
âOvermanâ refers to Nietzscheâs conception of a man who has literally overcome himself and human nature. In essence, an Overman is one who has superseded the bondage of the human condition and reached a liberated state â one of free play and creativity.
The term is derived from ## Thus Spoke Zarathustra ##, in which Nietzsche proclaims the overman as the end goal of humanity. The overman is someone who has so refined his will to power that he has freed himself from all outside influences and created his own values. Nihilism-Literally, a belief in nothing.
