10 Ubermensch
The idea of the Ubermensch variously translated as “superman,” “overman,” or even “beyond man” has been irreversibly associated with the Third Reich and the rule of the Nazis. For the Nazis, it represented all that was good and deserving about the Aryan race and all that was degenerate and foul in other races.
It was an idea that the Nazis stole from the works of Nietzsche. It first appears in writing in his 1880s treatise
Thus Spoke Zarathustra, although he’d been using the word since he was a teenager. However, he was vague about what it meant.
