Abstract

"There are more idols than realities in the world. [...] This time it is not contemporary idols but eternal idols that are being touched here with the hammer as if with a turning fork". This "revaluation of all values", an expression that nietzsche would use numerous times in his oeuvre, enables him to present his personal conception of what "true" morality could be. Doing so, he also gives an insight into his perception of what could be a superior life, a life in which man would not be bound to any moral, but in which he could express himself freely and then realize his potential. But this superior way of living can only be achieved by the overman that nietzsche characterizes in Ecce Homo as: "A type that has turned out supremely well, in antithesis to "modern" men, to "good men", to Christians and other nihilist." Thus, nietzsche defines the overman regarding to the ones who represent the "wrong" morality he loathes (i.e. any morals that tend to enslave men or at least weaken them).
