Friedrich Nietzsche's Philosophy And Super Heroes. This four-page paper is based on choosing a super hero & discussing the relationship with our contemporary society, why we as a society need super heroes & what a super hero is to the writer. I have to relate it to Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy on how every person needs polar opposites (Apollo- rational, order & Dionysus-irrational, chaos) to have a balanced state of being. Nietzsche also suggests that a high cultured society will "unify" both these characteristics, and it is in this way we will reach the inner nature of our being. He explores society through the individual & promotes that a self-mastered man, super man, creates his own values instead of blindly following conventional or societal standards. 4 pgs.
