Nietzsche is the first philosopher who put forward the concept of superman, but he didn't define it. According to the most works of Nietzsche, I think the idea of superman is divided into two periods: In the first period, the superman is the new kind of man who has the will to power, creation, transcendence and positivity. He will be the governor and nobleman in the future. In the second period, the superman is the unity of the process and result. Lonely but tough, he is fighting against the Christianity and secular morality in all his life. On this base he proceeds along the screw track, which is named as the Eternal Recurrence. Often referred to as the first "existentialist" philosopher, Nietzsche affected a lot of sects in the West after him, and enlightened the Chinese professors. Now we should learn from the spirit of the freedom in the philosophy of Nietzsche's superman.
