• TITLE: Nietzsche’s Best Life: The Ten Greatest Attributes of the Ubermensch, & a Comparison to Aristotle’s Virtuous Person

  AUTHORS: Randall Firestone

  KEYWORDS: Nietzsche, Ubermensch, Aristotle, Aristotle’s Virtuous Person, Best Life, The Good Life, Attributes of the Ubermensch, Nietzsche and Aristotle

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Philosophy, Vol.7 No.3, August 31, 2017

  ABSTRACT: The paper first outlines the 10 primary attributes of the Ubermensch, Nie-tzsche’s ideal person, with numerous quotations. Those attributes are self-determination, creativity, becoming, overcoming, discontent, flexibility, self-mastery, self-confidence, cheerfulness, and courage. The paper then compares Nietzsche’s Ubermensch with Aristotle’s virtuous person. Nietzsche describes more of an attitude towards life and a process of living which are similar to a means as compared to Aristotle’s objective character traits which are goals or ends in themselves. The paper concludes that Nietzsche does a better job of describing the best human life—one that is dynamic, passionate, and unique; consisting of self-growth and creativity; and filled with new experiences, insights, and adventures.
