Critiques of Nietzsche’s Übermensch

What Can We Gain From the Übermensch?

Created for the freshman seminar "Capitalism and Its Discontents," my website provides an overview of the philosophies of Adam Smith, Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Martin Heidegger. Additionally, it includes my opinionated essay focused on Nietzsche's übermensch. Expanding Nietzsche’s definition of the übermensch provides guidance for living a meaningful life in the twenty-first century by encouraging personal growth and excellence at all levels. By finding alternate manifestations of übermensch qualities in Nietzsche and Smith’s philosophy, people can live according to personal moral values in a manner that is sustainable.
