This book is a venture. A venture because it presents Nietzsche's philosophy of the Übermensch without criticizing, softening, or condemning it. Those seeking an answer to the question of what Nietzsche's Übermensch is all about will find it here—without a didactic finger pointing or a sober, warning voice. The essay traces the concept of the Übermensch through Nietzsche's work, incorporating many of his dangerous thoughts and relating them, in Nietzsche's style, to current events and circumstances of our time, such as the preamble to the German Basic Law. With Nietzsche, the world is seen in a different light. Even today—and perhaps more than ever—Nietzsche's Übermensch is a philosophy for the day after tomorrow, in search of new philosophers.
