Subject: Re: Tips on how to be an overman


Agreeing with you on this - the study of Goethe is essential to an
understanding of what N. means by 'overman` - Goethe is the supreme model of
`overman`.
His novel ,`Wilhelm Meister` is an exercise, in novel form, of perspectivism.
ie . the fluid adopion of provisional (antithetical) perspectives rather than
a static/eleatic concept of being.
