Friedrich Nietzsche, born in 1844 was a philosopher who wrote about religion, morality, culture, philosophy, and science. Some of his main assertions include tragedy as validation of life, an eternal return, and a rejection of Christianity, democracy, and socialism. Between 1883 and 1885, Nietzsche wrote ''[[Wikipedia:Thus Spoke Zarathustra|Thus Spoke Zarathustra]]'', which in part deals with the idea of the "prophecy" of the [[Wikipedia:Übermensch|Übermensch]]. ''Thus Spoke Zarathustra'' contends that "man is something which ought to be overcome", and posits that the Übermensch is the goal that humanity should set for itself. The Übermensch is sometimes translated as "overman", "superman", or "superhuman". |
