philosophy of nietzsche on self-creation

“There is only a representational process running in our neural hardware.”

“If there is no pre-existing "true self" to discover, what is the organizing principle or "agent" that decides how to sculpt and style our character?”

“the Übermensch (often translated as the Overman or Superman) as the ultimate archetype of self-creation”

“Will to Power (der Wille zur Macht), which Nietzsche defines not as the domination of others, but as self-mastery and the sublimation of raw instincts. Rather than suppressing our darkest passions, Nietzsche urges us to harness and redirect them, a process he calls spiritualization.”
