Overman (Übermensch)
The term "Overman" or "Übermensch" was popularized by the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in his work "Thus Spoke Zarathustra." It refers to an individual who transcends conventional morality and societal norms, creating their own values and purpose. The Overman embodies strength, creativity, and self-overcoming, representing an ideal for humanity to aspire to.
Nietzsche's concept challenges traditional notions of good and evil, suggesting that the Overman is not bound by these constraints. Instead, this figure embraces life fully, accepting its chaos and uncertainty. The idea has influenced various fields, including philosophy, literature, and psychology, sparking discussions about individualism and human potential.
