"God is Dead."

The Ubermensch Ideal and Africa''s Moral Decadence

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Nietzschean übermensch enhances our lives by seeking and advocating for a revaluation of all values that hinder our existence. The übermensch stands at the apex of the world's pyramid calling to nature how he is at the goal; how he is the goal; and how he is the completion of nature. Religious or traditional mores have weighed us down heavily and the price we pay is too harsh a burden to bear: complying and being at ease with moral decadence than standing up to it. The übermensch stands to revolutionize and awaken our consciences to the need to positively affirm ourselves such that we confront everything that threatens our livelihood. We can develop and become more perfect beings that can explore their full potentialities without fear of supernatural intervention, punishment or scorn. Therefore, it is only through the act of rebellion in morality that we can introduce in our history a human subject free to act and determine his own destiny.
