The Three Phases That Man Crosses To Become The Super Man

The three phases that man crosses to become the Super Man

Introduction

On October 15, 1844, Friedrich Nietzsche was born. He came from a German family, Protestant shepherds. His father died when he was 5 years old, so he was raised by his mother in Naumburg from a very young age. The childhood of the young Nietzsche was always linked to religion, however at age 17 he decided to study Philology, who captivated him leaving behind the Christian faith. Already as an adult Nietzsche retired to southern Germany and Switzerland where he dedicated himself exclusively to writing, because he was already beginning to have health problems. It was one of the most influential contemporary thinkers of the nineteenth century. Niche died in Weimar, in Germany on August 25, 1900 marking a before and after in philosophical thought.

Developing

Nietzsche was the creator of the übermensch, or as the Super Man is said in Spanish. The super man should not be confused with superior or better, which tries to say this prefix is what comes after man, the overcoming of man. To go from being a normal man to a super man according to Nietzsche, western values must be abandoned, such as social norms and religion. But to stop believing in God is not enough, to be able to transform, he says that you have to kill God, this death is necessary to be able to introduce a new concept. 

According to his most popular book “Thus Zarathustra spoke there are three phases, which has to cross man to be able to become the super man.

The first phase is the camel, this phase refers to man as a being that blindly obeys social norms and humiliates supporting pre -established burdens. That is why the symbol of this phase is a camel, since the camel crosses the difficulties of the desert carrying its two humps on its back and many times helping men to pass through the desert. In this phase, men not only believe in social norms, but also believe in God without even questionthat? To go after death to another world that nobody knows. 

Making a similarity with those times and the modern ones could also say that now man obeys the system and works daily for other people, in order to have money, and with this being able to buy many times, things that do not need such as the car oflast model, the last cell phone and have everything of the latest technology and fashion. In this phase the man tries to fill his existential void with consumerism without realizing that the things he possesses, actually possess him, and it is in this where I consider that the majority of people find.

Nietzsche finally describes how the camel enters the most lonely desert before becoming a lion, in this phase the man who obeyed the system that blindly followed social norms and religion reveals himself against everything he believed by questioning everything, and going againstEverything is not manipulated for anything or anyoneHe really wants and does not have a purpose, only destroys and destroys himself, but it is still a necessary stage to become a super man.

After going against everything, the child comes, this is the last phase of man before being a super man. Here, after going against everything he believed, of the region, of society finally has the will to create a new reality, as a fundamental element. In this phase the man really knows what he wants with nothing that loves him by leaving behind the spiritual mediocrity of the human being, and thus he is able to let him be a man and become a super man, this phase is represented with a child sinceThe child proves freely without ties. This may be misunderstood, thinking that a super man fits more with a maladjeWill. As Nietzsche says, the will ends where the other begins this is not a social norm, it is something that should always be taken into account.

conclusion

In conclusion, what the superman possesses, what makes the superman overcome the human being, in the first place is instinctive freedom, the super man is a being who lives isolated, what is self-sufficient and that he lives according to his instincts. Nietzsche believes that the positive is not living in society but renouncing society and therefore having maximum freedom. This freedom also understood as living according to our instincts, means that it must be done what is appropriate to our nature and not castrate and not to restrict our freedom based on social concepts, which what they do is not to leave them, we do not allow them to beas we should really be. 

Another characteristic would be loyalty to earth, this idea that there is a life after death, is considered very negative for Nietzsche, Nietzsche affirms that there is only earthly life and that beyond there is nothing, and the superman is aware ofit. But if this possibility of continuing to live after death, what the super man wants is not to have another life, but to repeat countless times the same existence, the perfection to continue being perfect should not vary, by the thought ofNietzsche is in a line and if we are able to get a perfect life full and full of content we do not want to change anything of it and therefore before the possibility of living after death what the super man wants is the eternal return.
