Nietzsche has a reputation for being an individualist. But note this call for mass sacrifice—from his Genealogy of Morals:
“mankind in the mass sacrificed to the prosperity of a single stronger species of man — that would be an advance.” (GM II:12)
Nietzsche’s sometimes-yes-sometimes-not individualism is complicated. For more, check out my “Egoism in Nietzsche and Rand” (audio version; text version).
“Egoism in Nietzsche and Rand” is excellent!!!
Thank you, Eric.
