What are the main points of Nietzsche's "Superman Philosophy"?
The appearance of "Superman" is the inevitable result of Nietzsche's "revaluation of all values" and heroic morality, and it is also his highest moral ideal personality. In Nietzsche's view, just as we must re-create a new value system to save the degradation of human morality, we must also call out a kind of "superman" to save the tragic degradation of human beings. Superman is the representative of the highest value that human beings can and must create, the carrier of heroic morality and the goal of human development. He said: "The goal is not' human', but superman!" . (1) Nietzsche distorted Darwin's theory of evolution, thinking that all species have created something beyond themselves, and people will inevitably evolve into superman. Superman is above man as man is above animals, and man is just a transitional rope between superman and animals. People either walk through this rope and become superman, or fall into the abyss and die, or stay here and return to the animal kingdom. It is glorious to be Superman, respectable to die in rolling in the deep, and shameful to return to the animal kingdom. In superman's eyes, ordinary people are as ridiculous as animals. The difference between superman and modern people even exceeds that between modern people and apes. Superman is the ruler of nature and the true meaning of the universe. God died of excessive compassion, and Superman is Nietzsche's new God.

In Nietzsche's view, "Superman" has at least the following characteristics:

first

Superman is the culmination of human biological evolution and the best part of human species. He stands above all mankind and cannot be confused with mediocre groups, which is a witness to the inequality of human beings, society and nations.

second

Superman is a genius, a true essence; Superman has a great desire for power. They are the strongest, the richest, the most independent and the bravest. Julius Caesar and Napoleon are the embryonic forms of Superman.

third

Superman tries to have everything and rule everything, without cowardice. They are above the concept of good and evil and are not blamed by conscience.

fourth

Superman loves adventure and enjoys it. They deliberately chose the strong to confront them; They look for the fiercest enemy among their best friends.

fifth

Superman is a supreme moral ideal; Superman himself is the embodiment of truth and morality, the creator and owner of norms and values; They legislate for mankind, and their will and words are laws; Their moral standard is "I can do", but there is nothing "I should do".

sixth

Superman is absolutely free, self-sufficient and selfish. Superman is the most arrogant. They look down on everything and stay away from the masses. They never fly in groups like birds, but like eagles, they run alone and have no friends.

seventh

Superman can endure pain best and rise from it. They endure the most intense pain and have the strongest willpower. The most painful genius has the best hope of becoming superman.
