프리드리히 니체의 우버멘슈: 개념과 논쟁

### 니체의 우상: 열망과 묵시록적 이상
* 니체의 '초인' 또는 '초인간'은 개인이 기존의 인간상을 초월하여 **자신을 분류하고 제한하는 세상에서 자신만의 고유한 길**을 만들도록 도전합니다.
* 📜 니체가 그의 저서 '차라투스트라는 이렇게 말했다'에서 처음 소개한 초인 개념은 **도덕, 방법론, 진보의 개념을 재평가**함으로써 인류가 공동으로 지향할 수 있는 새로운 존재의 패러다임을 나타냅니다.
* 🌍 자연적 불평등과 개인의 우월성에 대한 그리스인들의 믿음에서 영감을 받은 니체는 **개성을 포용하고 자유민주주의와 사회주의 같은 평등주의 사상을 거부하는 사회**를 꿈꿨습니다.
* 🐫 니체는 『차라투스트라는 이렇게 말했다』에서 **낙타, 사자, 아이의 비유**를 통해 사회적 짐을 지고(낙타) 허무주의를 받아들이고(사자) 그 짐을 파괴하여 새로운 가치와 이상을 창조하는(아이) 개인의 여정을 상징적으로 표현합니다.
* 🔄 우주의 모든 것은 무한히 반복될 운명을 타고났다는 니체의 '영원회귀' 개념은 개인에게 영원히 반복할 수 있는 방식으로 살도록 도전하는 **니체의 '우버멘쉬'**의 배경이 됩니다.
* 💔 강인함과 강인함을 철학적 이상으로 삼았던 니체 자신도 **아버지를 잃고 루 살로메와의 격정적인 연애 관계 등 개인적인 비극**을 겪은 매우 예민하고 취약한 사람이었습니다.
* 🦋 추상적이고 장식적인 언어가 특징인 니체의 글은 **해석을 유도하고 경직된 분류를 거부**하여 독자가 그의 사상에 참여하고 작품을 스스로 이해하도록 요구합니다.
* 🔀 니체의 철학은 신중하고 사려 깊게 접근하면 **행복감과 낙관주의, 자유로움**을 선사하며 개인이 사회적 규범을 거부하고 진정한 성취를 향한 자신만의 길을 만들도록 독려합니다.

check out the horse's store at horses. Land. There's a sword, some T-shirts, and a notebook that are all shipping now. Thank you. I hope you enjoy this video when we destroy everything. What do we have? This is one of the many ideas explored within the works of Friedrich n. The answer he once supplied to this question was the Uber MCH, the man who is greater than mankind, the next evolution of the human race. The concept of the Uber mench has been studied, interpreted, and manipulated over and over. It is almost impossible to distill effectively into a single sentence. The Uber mench is both apocalyptic and aspirational, both dangerous and comforting. If nothing else, it is powerful for those feeling like they are lost in the forest of Life. N's ubermen can provide, if not an Escape Route, some direction. That direction is to be fiercely, belligerently, violently independent, to truly be your own individual in a world so ready to crudely thrust every human being into some pre-existing classification. But this description defies the totality of the Uber MCH.

is reductive. So let's explore the idea more meaningfully. A biographical work on N would be its own pursuit. For our purposes, we will just say that he was a German-born philosopher active in the latter half of the 19th century. During this time, he developed the concept at hand, that of the Ubermensch. But for its most true genesis, we can look to the ancient work of the Syrian writer Lucian, who discussed a hyperanthropos. This was a satirical version of some superhuman figure, which is not entirely irrelevant to N. Even more direct is the link to Ralph Waldo Emerson's 1841 essay called The Over-Soul. In this work, he presents the idea that the unified soul of humanity could ascend beyond the highest reaches of mankind. Emerson and N are diametrically opposed in many ways, which has led researchers to often skip over this connection. But by N's own admission, he saw Emerson as a spiritual brother when commenting on a series written by

Emerson Nietzsche once said, I have never felt so much at home in a book. While we can't really credit him with the core idea of man surpassing mankind, his version is certainly the most significant incarnation, and of course, it is the one we are discussing here. To do this, we can first try to dissect the word itself. The latter part of the word Übermensch translates into English pretty easily. It is a person, a human. But the prefix Über creates issues in this context. Über translates as over, above, or beyond. So, we would have above human or something to that effect. But Nietzsche's Übermensch is human; he is, in a way, superhuman. So many scholars have chosen to translate the word as Superman. This worked reasonably well for a time. It describes a human who has transcended the existent version of humankind. But the Superman comic book character eventually became immensely popular. To avoid confusion, academics switched the English translation to Overman, which works but really doesn't say much in itself as a word to native

English speakers, it just isn't very helpful. Ultimately, the word Ubermensch is a German word, and I think we should just accept that. Certainly, I see no reason why it needs to be translatable or translated into English. N's earliest incarnation of this concept seems to be found in an essay he wrote called On Moods in 1874. In this essay, he discusses the idea of elevated moods to be very reductive, a sort of natural high, something beyond our contemporary understanding of a good mood. Certainly, in this work, he says that most people encounter these moods in durations of minutes and exist in a perpetual oscillation between high and low. But there exists a possibility that one could live entirely and permanently in this elevated state. History N ultimately admits provides no actual examples of this, and it is just a fantasy. N reached the conclusion of the Ubermensch with his work Thus Spoke Zarathustra. This is written in the first-person perspective of its titular character, who is an all-seeing prophet.

against Nietzsche's belief that religion was dead as Humanity's moral compass, Zarathustra provided a new road map for Humanity within Thus Spoke Zarathustra. N expresses that mankind has great untapped potential. He says man in his present state, weighed down by his bad conscience, is truly a sick animal, but perhaps this condition is like pregnancy, a sickness heavy with future possibilities. Man is such an incomplete transitional creature that it almost seems as if nature had some future plans for him, as if man were not an end but only a way, an episode, a bridge, a great promise. N himself never defines the Ubermensch, but his framing does well to describe the concept. It is a destination that Humanity can reach by collectively reassessing morals, methodology, and our definition of progress. Mankind in its present form is an obstacle that we must all overcome. History's mightiest figures, Caesar, Da Vinci, Napoleon, all fell short of the Ubermensch according to N. While admirable, they too were to be destroyed and left in their proper place of

obsolescence. In his time, there were a few sensibilities that Nietzsche rejected. One was nihilism, the belief that basically life has no inherent meaning. This is an interesting point because Nietzsche once described himself as a nihilist, and surface-level understanding of his work also points to that conclusion. This is one of the great, unfortunate, and probably unintentional tricks that Nietzsche performed. It is easy to read his work and find only negativity and hopelessness. In fact, the opposite is true. Nietzsche declared that the only way to destroy nihilism was to go through it, to embrace it. In some sense, he could use nihilism to move past nihilism. By doing so, we can make life into a beautiful blank space. In this space, we could find and insert true fulfillment, an individualistic, unique happiness that was not bound to the ideas of others. In his time, then, modern thinking sought happiness for all people based on Christian ideas of right and wrong. Nietzsche rejected this idea as well. He believed that the church had their chance to unify and improve humanity but had

spoiled it entirely, so Christianity, along with its dogmas, must also be rejected. Any and all isms were just boundaries to the radical individualistic nature of the Ubermensch. This higher version of man had broken free of rigid moral codes and societal expectations. He was perfectly free to be great. This new version of humanity was not something based in Darwinian evolution. It was not a flesh-and-blood new species, but instead a new paradigm of existence. It was also not any specific chosen one or even population. The Ubermensch is an idea, the idea that mankind must, can, and should develop beyond its current state, that there is simply something more we can [Music] achieve. The values that created present humanity, unrecognized, would just create more of the same. This is sound enough logic. So instead, Zarathustra says humanity must develop an entire new system of values, with the end goal being the production of the Ubermensch. Friedrich Nietzsche was inspired by the Greeks, who largely rejected the idea of equality and believed that nature had always and would always

create beings who were greater than others. Some individuals were the dominant members of a species, while others were passive. With this in mind, n strived for a society that embraced individuality. He believed the rejection of individuality was an existential threat to the human race, and he knew that individuality inherently meant inequality. N rejected egalitarian ideas like liberal democracy and socialism. Religions, politics, and ideologies were an obstacle to the creation of perfectly free spirits. Likewise, the Ubermensch would be himself detached from these herish ways of thinking. He would be violently, radically free to modern sensibilities and those of his time. This could be taken as relatively extreme, but with Zarathustra, n approaches the reordering of society with a degree of practicality. You see, it's easy to think that n is saying we should swiftly and immediately cut down all that we know, but this is a misreading. Throughout his life, he expressed an understanding of the slow nature of social change. He pointed to the French Revolution, which he said would have been entirely

different if cooler heads had prevailed. Any societal problem, n says, is like a chronic illness. It develops from small habits repeated over and over. Nicha believes the cure must also come in this way, slow and steady. In Thus Spoke Zarathustra, the prophet proclaims that moderation and courage are needed to achieve the Ubermensch. In developing changes, we must avoid violent sudden action, and instead we will live in the old way while slowly taking in this new modality of existence. Eventually, these small drops of newness will fill our cups, and we will exist peacefully as something novel. N calls for deep meaningful change, not shallow boisterous proclamations. When one's life for society at large is filled with purpose, we can walk slowly and be fulfilled by each small step. The fact remains, though, this change must be active. It must be ushered in by some people. So who will be those people? N says that they must be both thinkers and men of action. They do not have to be enormously wealthy in N's new world.

wealth will not be man's greatest aim. And also rejects these men must be selected on the basis of race, and he further discounts the idea of aristocratic genealogy. The rulers across Europe, he said, were rife with corruption, and that would only continue if anything. As Zarathustra indicates, the peasant class is more suited to the role. It is not where one comes from but where one is going that is of the most importance. The quote Aristocrats of intellect are also incapable of enacting this change. Studying is fine, but the people we seek must be capable of physical action. The true question is instead, how strong are you, and not just physically, to bring about this new world. Zarathustra demands people who are of great mind, body, and soul. These people should accept responsibility, master themselves, and be prepared to master others. While enormous wealth is not required, and these men need not be the richest in the world, Zarathustra says they must have the resources to grant themselves independence. They must be able to do what they want instead of what other

people want them to do this seems to be the importance of money in n's system. The idea of Love is strikingly relevant too. Zarathustra says these men must seek love not only out of passion or lust. They must Master themselves and their urges. They must not seek to create children out of loneliness or discontent with oneself. Instead, the individual should wish to create people even greater than himself. Meanwhile, those who cannot be utilized for the advancement of Humanity towards the Uber mench must be allowed to basically die out. We should be clear here. The men that n's discussing are not themselves The Uber MCH. They are instead the individuals who will lead Society forward in a way that will eventually result in the realization of this concept. This new version of civilization will also require significant social conditions to exist. According to Zarathustra, the prophet declares that unfavorable conditions are ideal for eventually achieving the Uber MCH. N says that these humans of the future must have great spiritual and moral power, which can only be proven by opposition.

insecurity and danger argued would bring out the most elite qualities of these future individuals. People did not become great after all because everything was easy. No, they needed to overcome challenges. Broadly speaking, supports hardship and believes struggle will force the greatest of humankind to the top. It should be noted, though, he does not provide much in the way of specifics on these hardships. Each remarks that the modern society seeks safety for everyone, but when danger disappears, so does the capability to deal with it, so does the capacity for greatness. Categorized Wars and revolutions as clumsy ways to remedy this situation, but admitted they are the greatest stimulants available. The church again had their chance to serve this role, but had missed it. This could read as an endorsement of violence, and perhaps it was in a way, but ordinary gunpowder Wars would be almost irrelevant to this future civilization. Notes that they usually concern trade or money rather than the advancement of humanity. These could be the training grounds for future great men, but only incidentally and without any uniquely

important purpose to n's New World. The blades and guns type of warfare was not nich's focus. He was not a warmonger, nor does he Express this idea as zarathustra. Instead, he believes in Wars between ideas. Most often when n praises the concept of War, this is the type of conflict he is referring to. By living in opposition to those around oneself and engaging in this spiritual war, man is hardened without need for guns or ammunition. And Thus Spoke zarathustra. n offers the parable of the camel, the Lion, and the child. This concept strikes at the core of the book and much of nich's philosophy. The camel is burdened by the expectations, hopes, and sensibilities of those around him, those who are essentially exploiting him. In time, the camel eventually evolves into the lion. The lion tears apart the camel and its burdens, leaving only an empty space behind. The lion has the courage to explore this space and within it, the nihilistic idea of Life having no

meaning, this is where we can be reborn. This is where we become the child. We can begin a new and find our own ideals and aspirations, those things which make us unique and which bring us authentic individual fulfillment. Although evocative to the point of provocation, n reflects a profound optimism and a hope for the future. His ideas are fierce, aggressive, and immensely stimulating, but still there is one key that will allow us to unlock them entirely, to really understand the Uber MCH. We must examine the context in which it was written. That context is a thought experiment known as Eternal recurrence in Thus Spoke Zarathustra. N explores the idea that everything in the universe is fated to happen again and again into eternity. You will repeat every moment of the life you now live forever. N never expressed that he believed this as a scientific fact, but it is presented rather as a philosophical framework by which we should live. It is in this backdrop that we can ourselves strive to become the Uber MCH. Is your life worth

repeating are the choices you make worthy of Eternity. When was the last time you did something that you would do forever? The road to this success, to having desire for nothing except your own existence, is the uberman. Reject the ideals of those who hold you Shackled. Reject all that which comes before you and cast off those things which burden you with obligation. Embrace the apocalypse and thrive in the chaos you will undoubtedly create. Do not create From the Ashes but create in place of the ashes. Become what you and you alone deem worthy of the infinite. Most importantly of all, and most paradoxically of all, reject. Reject people like me. Reject those who wish to tell you how to live. Create something new n throughout his work seemed to extol the importance of hardness, a spiritual and intellectual belligerent hardness, a hardness of being. But this was seemingly not a quality that n himself possessed. Quite the contrary, from a young age, n had a tremendous gift for understanding and feeling human pain. He was described throughout his life as

intensely sensitive nche was vulnerable shy and tender by his own admission n's Love Of The Hard Man archetype was little more than a facade he wrote in a letter to his friend as for myself. I have got into a state of chronic vulnerability against which when my condition is slightly improved I take a sort of Revenge which is not of the nicest description that is to say. I adopt an attitude of excessive hardness n had an idealic childhood but it was completely demolished by the untimely death of his father. His widowed mother had two other children so she was unable to provide the high amount of attention the young n would have needed. In his time of suffering as a young man. He was made to experience the death of his father fully in solitude. In 1878 he spoke of his childhood. We we are devastated by the sight of the scenes of our childhood. The garden house the church with its Graves the pond in the woods. We always see them again as sufferers. We are gripped by

self-pity when he was just 29 n's intellectual Idol was a composer named Richard Vagner n worshiped him like something close to a god even publishing a work that praised the man publicly. This Man became n's de facto father figure the work inflated V 's ego and he persuaded n to pen a hit piece on a writer named David Strauss. This was vogner's Feud not n's at all. n had actually enjoyed strauss's work but from loyalty to Vagner he went ahead with the peace. Shortly after it was published David Strauss died and N worried that his pece contributed to strauss's demise. Not long after this incident Vagner began to spread rumors about n being a chronic addicted sex fiend who was going blind from masturbation. Vagner further launched another ruthless assault on the young n in the book bether blot. In 1876 n severed ties with Vagner this incident broke his heart and catapulted the sensitive young man into an era of emotional distress in the wake.

of this personal tragedy. N found refuge in the love of a woman named Lou Salame. Their romantic affair was intense and passionate, with N saying she he was as shrewd as an eagle and as brave as a lion. He earnestly believed he had found his soulmate. As it turned out, romancing with geniuses of the day was a pattern for Lou. She ultimately rejected N, and the romance crumbled. In a photo she later flaunted around to other lovers, Lou was portrayed as a carriage driver brandishing a whip over N himself. At the end of this affair, N wrote to his friend, This last morsel of life was the hardest I have yet had to chew, and it is still possible that I shall choke on it. I am now being broken as no other man could be on the wheel of my own passions. Unless I discover the alchemical trick of turning this muck into gold, I am lost. N would go on to live a life plagued by psychological turmoil, eventually resulting in a complete

psychotic breakdown in Zarathustra N presents a Hardman ideal who could endure suffering and use it to greatness. It has been argued that this was just a sort of persona, an aspirational abstract that N used to cope with his own sensitivity, an ideal that N himself fell tremendously short of. Maybe. But it seems to me that the opposite could be true. I think that to be strong is not to forgo feelings or to be immune to them. It is instead to act because of or in spite of those feelings. Indeed, N with his tremendous sensitivity did just that. When all was said and done, he did perform the alchemical trick of turning muck into gold. Maybe he didn't live to see it, but some century and a half later, he has emerged as one of the most influential thinkers of all time. N's writing provides us with a uniquely dangerous sort of knowledge. When stripped from its context or presented in disparate pieces, it can seem to endorse some of Humanity's worst qualities. Indeed, that has happened after

his death n's sister Allied herself with the Nazi party. She then manipulated, edited, and republished nich's work to make it extol the beliefs of the Nazis. In reality, Friedrich nche rejected both Fascism and anti-Semitism, even cutting ties with his own sister over the issues. But when approached with care and given the thought that he deserves, n offers a euphoric, hopeful optimism. When we destroy everything, we are free. Life is a beautiful void in which we can frolic and play and seek true fulfillment if we are brave enough to do so. It may sound silly to say, but n's works are remarkably nian. They are expressed abstractly and in ornamental language. He was not an author who provided us with a system by which to live, but rather his writing invites, requires interpretation. So as we read n, we are implored to reject any rigid interpretations of the work and instead create one for ourselves. Thus Spoke Zarathustra is a great snapshot of n's philosophy, but it

is not comprehensive. In this essay, I have not even scratched the surface of n's Works, nor the secondary interpretations of them. So, in true nian spirit, I suggest you discover them for yourself. [Music]

NIETZSCHE: Burn it All Down

Horses 

프리드리히 니체의 작품에서 우버멘쉬의 개념

프리드리히 니체는 기존의 인간을 초월하는 초인으로서 우버멘쉬 또는 오버맨이라는 개념을 발전시켰습니다.

이 개념은 루시앙과 랄프 왈도 에머슨 등의 작품에서 연구되고 해석되어 다른 작품과 연결되었습니다.

우버멘쉬는 종말론적이면서도 열망적인 개념으로, 모든 사람을 분류하려는 세상에서 맹렬히 독립적인 개인을 상징합니다.

"차라투스트라는 이렇게 말했다"에 나오는 니체의 우버멘쉬에 대한 비전

니체는 도덕에 대한 집단적 재평가와 전통적 이데올로기의 거부를 요구하는 인류의 미래 지향점으로 우버멘치 개념을 제시했습니다.

그는 민주주의나 사회주의와 같은 평등주의 사상을 거부하고 우버멘쉬의 발전을 위해서는 개성과 불평등이 필수적이라고 믿었습니다.

니체는 급진적 자유를 옹호하면서도 사회 변화의 느린 속성을 인정하고 어느 정도 실용적인 시각으로 사회의 재질서에 접근했습니다.

니차는 자라투스트라의 정서를 반영하듯 사회 변화는 작고 의미 있는 행동을 통해 천천히 이루어져야 한다고 믿습니다.

사회를 우버멘쉬로 이끌어갈 개인은 자신과 타인을 지배할 수 있는 사상가이자 행동하는 사람이어야 합니다.

자라투스트라에 따르면 이러한 리더는 독립을 위한 자원을 소유하고 더 위대한 개인을 만들기 위해 사랑을 추구해야 합니다.

N은 미래 엘리트의 정신적, 도덕적 힘을 끌어내기 위해 불리한 조건과 투쟁의 필요성을 강조하며 궁극적으로 우버멘쉬의 실현으로 이어집니다.

"차라투스트라는 이렇게 말했다"에 담긴 니체의 철학

니체의 전쟁 개념은 물리적 전쟁보다는 정신적, 이념적 갈등에 중점을 두고 있습니다.

이 책의 핵심 철학은 낙타, 사자, 아이의 비유를 통해 개인의 성취와 삶의 의미를 찾기 위한 여정을 상징적으로 묘사합니다.

영원회귀의 개념은 삶의 틀로서 제시되며, 개인이 영원히 되살릴 가치가 있는 삶을 창조하도록 도전합니다.

N의 파란만장한 삶: 취약성, 우상화, 비탄의 이야기

N은 고통을 감추기 위해 부드러움과 지나친 강인함을 번갈아 가며 만성적인 취약성으로 어려움을 겪었습니다.

작곡가 리하르트 바그너에 대한 우상화는 정서적 고통과 충성심의 위기로 이어져 N 자신의 내적 혼란에 기여했습니다.

루 살로메와의 강렬하고 열정적인 로맨스는 거절과 공개적인 굴욕으로 끝났고, 그의 정서적 고통은 더욱 깊어졌습니다.

프리드리히 니체의 복잡한 유산

고통을 견디고 이를 위대함을 위해 사용한다는 프리드리히 니체의 이상은 어쩌면 자신의 감수성을 극복하기 위한 페르소나였을지도 모릅니다.

그는 엄청난 감수성을 지녔음에도 불구하고 파시즘과 반유대주의를 거부하면서 자신의 고난을 영향력 있는 작품으로 승화시킬 수 있었습니다.

니체의 글은 문맥에서 벗어나 위험하게 잘못 해석될 수 있지만, 신중하게 고려하면 희망적인 낙관주의와 자신만의 해석을 만들 수 있는 초대를 제공합니다.

"차라투스트라는 이렇게 말했다"는 니체의 철학을 잘 표현한 책이지만, 그의 방대한 저작과 그 해석의 표면만 긁어낸 것에 불과합니다.
