Alba,

I recognize the uber mensch when I here them describing themselves...


"My sense is that for Nietzsche it is the nobility that create value. In essence, the noble caste "decides" what truth is, and thus they become "the truthful ones." The commoners, operating out of a completely different and reactionary set of values, then, become "liars" from the perspective of the noble. Nietzsche doesn't seem to mind this dynamic, so long as the noble caste retains the power to create "truth." What Nietzsche is agitated about is that the masses have won, and have overthrown the "values" of the noble. The older, more noble "truths," have been replaced by a new set of dogmatic "truths" (Christianity, science) which are supposed to apply to everyone, and are governed by the spirit of ressentiment."
