Abstract (EN)

This thesis aims to examine in detail the entire background on which the concept of 'superman notion' occupies a central place in Nietzsche's philosophy, and then to give the concept of what is referred to by the concept of 'superman' as to what kind of necessity it contains, and its role in life. Throughout his philosophy, Nietzsche actually offers us a critique of culture. When he reveals these criticisms, he basically acts on one theme. This is regarded as the supreme value of life. With such a thought, Nietzsche develops a great protest against all conception that cuts the breath of life, and the protagonist of this protest is Christianity nourished by Socrates and Platonic elements, and the other world view as an extension of it. On the Nietzsche axis, all the ideas that were influential in the development of Christianity and subsequently influenced by Christianity regarded themselves as the sole act of infusing the idea of a fictional world beyond society by degenerating the validity of life with the ideal of absolute truth. But it is impossible for Nietzsche to speak of an absolute truth in life which corresponds to a permanent being. Nietzsche sees all the characterizations of truth as a port of refuge in the face of the uncertainty of existence. So much so that this port deactivate people in life, makes them numb, prevents them from facing the reality of existence. Thus, man becomes a submissive slave who lives his whole life around certain authorities. This is the ad 'decadence' state which implies that life becomes a diseased state with all its values. Nietzsche sees his century as the fiercest manifestation of decadence. According to him, the ultimate point of this manifestation is the death of the god they live for. This death, in fact, is conceive with human death. Human falls into a nihilistic crisis in the face of the pains of his own existence with the death of the god, in which he assumes the meaning of all existence. Life has no meaning anymore. At this point, Nietzsche sees nihilism, a crisis, as the last hope of saving life and thus reaching the man and advises active nihilism which is the most extreme of nihilism. According to him, with active nihilism, human displaces all values, and this opens the door to the supreme value, the superman. On the Nietzsche axis, this superman is the new meaning of the earth. This human is the creative force that is stuck with all his actions in the core of life which is an existence. It is the only life practice that is overflowing with the instincts of all values, sovereigns and beyond the borders. Even the imagination of this practice will contribute to the rebirth of life.
