“The Overman will himself be a nihilist in the (good) sense of rejecting any metaphysical or religious grounding for truth and value, but instead of curling up in despair, or simply going along with the crowd like the 'passive' nihilist, he will recognize himself as the sole source of truths and values to live by.” ValuesReligiousSourceDespairCrowdsLive BySolePassiveMetaphysicalGood SenseRejectingGroundingNihilist Author:David E.
