Friedrich Nietzsche was not a professional philosopher - rather, a thinker, poet, philologist. There was practically no logic in his approach - there was only the passion of real creativity.

Nietzsche never called for pushing the weak; moreover, the theory of the superman did not imply the triumph of some over others, but victory creativity over the destructive, the animal. In fact, Nietzsche completely denied aggression. In his mind, a person could only overcome himself.
