Nietzschean thought
Nietzschean thought centers around the idea of individual existence, the rejection of traditional morals, and the concept of the "Übermensch" or "Overman," which represents a person who creates their own values and purpose. Nietzsche critiques societal norms and religion, particularly Christianity, for promoting herd mentality. He introduces the idea of "eternal recurrence," challenging individuals to live as if they would relive their lives in the same way repeatedly. Central to his philosophy is the affirmation of life, encouraging self-overcoming and personal authenticity in the pursuit of meaning in a world that lacks inherent purpose.
