The Nietzschean Übermensch

Even as the Hindu swastika is not the Nazi swastika, so the Nietzschean Übermensch is not the Nazi Übermensch. The Nietzschean Übermensch is the man who wills the eternal recurrence of the world as will to power, just as the true Brahmin invokes Bhairava!

This forum is dedicated to Nietzsche's early philosophy, i.e., his philosophy from around the time of The Birth of Tragedy. I think Nietzsche's early philosophy already contained the seeds of his mature philosophy, with the primordial One, which he also called "the primordial Will", corresponding to the will to power, and the both Apollinian and Dionysian genius, whom he also called "the lyrical genius", corresponding to the Übermensch. (I think the word "lyrical" is funny in this context, by the way, because I conceive the Übermensch as the man who is "lyrical" about existence.)
