iirc Neitzsche cobsidered Julius Caesar and Alexander to be close to the overman ideal. Probably any one who is a warlord that goes beyond morality to forge a colossal new reality ormeaning for themselves.

If that is your criteria, look no further than Cecil Rhodes.

Also, lord byron is a preening hedonistic fop and is too self obsessed to be a fucking overman.

Mishima is damned by his will-to-death. Wittgenstein is pretty debatable, ultimately he was just a very autistic and anal moralfag. Not sure why Stockhausen is here, it doesn't even make for very good bait. Goethe is legit (though not ubermensch but a medium stage between man and ubermensch).

Napoleon is also legit for the same reason as Goethe. Nietzsche also praised Cesare Borgia and for the sale reasons would have loved the Cardinal De Retz if he had known his existence. Not sure if either qualifies as proto-ubermensch though.

agree with witty for sure

as far as im concerned wittgensteins takes are an extension of nietzsches but attacking language as opposed to morality (especially phil. investigations. TLP, though beautiful, is a confused and platonist (decadent) take on language. there is no "other world" of pictures - all there is is the use of words)

I dont know how you got this anon. You mean you are reading Thus Spake? Because if so Zarathustra was portrayed as above please or self delusion. He had fully confronted truth and the wirld wven though he lived outside it.

As for the part you greentexted... Anon, I..... Cecil Rhodes was no midwit. He single handedly revolutionized British rule in Southern Africa and turned it into a powerhouse of imperial wealth and creation. He also set up the circumstance for the secession and creation of a new nation there. That is a chad act of creation and dominance. Anon, once again, I must express... Anon, I....

No because most of the new values are in reaction to the horrors of the war and against him, he is a vortex of morality and values and did not forge a new world himself. He is a failed homunculus meant to create sommething new and he created his own worst nightmare and our current mode of being.

That is fascinating. I haven't gotten to Wittgenstein but I guess I kind of unconsciously assumed the two must be opposed, due to the analytic/continental distinction, but it would make sense to me if Wittgenstein didn't have a view of philosophy similar to that of modern analytics. A lot of modern analytics really don't like Nietzsche and his ilk.

Mishima was not an Übermensch. He chose the path of active nihilism, not of self-overcoming. Possibly he transcended in the moment of his suicide, but it's unlikely.

Wittgenstein was not even close.

Even The Khan failed to make something lasting though. Within a few decades it was falling apart. He was like Alexander with 10x the reach, 10x the stamina, and 10x the statecraft ability. But it still was too easy to mismanage and soon collapsed. Doesnt change the man himself but it perhaps could have been much more lasting.

i assumed the same, but reading witty he feels far more continential than analytic. ive read russel and wittgensteins work, especially PI, is much less mathematical and autistic than russels. iirc Witty said of nietzsche that he believed him to he right in what he wrote but he was uncomfortable with his attacks on christianity.

As far as their work being similar: in the same way that nietzsche dissolves philosophic problems by looking at the drives of a person (you dont believe x philosophy because its "true", you believe it because you are y psychologically) wittgenstein dissolves philosophical problems by looking at language (x is not a philosophical problem, its a result of y muddying up the waters of language). Both refuse to engage a given philosophical issue on its own terms but rather try to undertand why the issue exists at all and in so doing manage to look at the problem directly. Its incredibly interesting stuff.

It's not, in TSZ Zarathustra (Nietzsche) straight up says the Ubermensch exists in the future and not in the present in the very first chapter.

>I TEACH YOU THE SUPERMAN. Man is something that is to be surpassed. What have ye done to surpass man?
>All beings hitherto have created something beyond themselves: and ye want to be the ebb of that great tide, and would rather go back to the beast than surpass man?
>What is the ape to man? A laughing-stock, a thing of shame. And just the same shall man be to the Superman: a laughing-stock, a thing of shame.
>Ye have made your way from the worm to man, and much within you is still worm. Once were ye apes, and even yet man is more of an ape than any of the apes.
>Even the wisest among you is only a disharmony and hybrid of plant and phantom. But do I bid you become phantoms or plants?
>Lo, I teach you the Superman!
>The Superman is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: The Superman SHALL BE the meaning of the earth!

The idea that Ubermenschen are actual historical or present day people that exist among us is not something anyone who has actually read Nietzsche believes. This is a misunderstanding cultivated from receiving Nietzsche entirely through 2nd or even 3rd hand accounts on the internet.
